"Teicofic 400mg" injection composition

These appear to be hospital IV antibiotics:
  1. Infamero-S 1.5 g injection
    Likely meropenem 1 g + sulbactam 500 mg. It is a broad-spectrum antibiotic used for serious bacterial infections, especially suspected resistant Gram-negative or mixed infections. Please confirm the exact composition on the vial, because similarly named products may differ.
  2. Ticofic/Teicofic 400 mg injection
    Contains teicoplanin 400 mg, a glycopeptide antibiotic active mainly against serious Gram-positive infections, including many MRSA infections. It has a mechanism and spectrum broadly similar to vancomycin, as described in Katzung pharmacology.
They may be prescribed together initially for a severe infection when both resistant Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria need coverage. Teicoplanin product information identifies it as a prescription antibiotic for severe bacterial infections, including lung, blood, bone/joint, skin/soft tissue, and endocardial infections (drug product summary).
Important: These should only be administered under a clinician's prescription. Dose and interval often need adjustment in kidney impairment. Seek urgent care for rash, facial swelling, breathing difficulty, severe diarrhea, or markedly reduced urine output.
