Podcast # 488: Dalbavancin

Contributor: Nick Hatch, MD

Educational Pearls:

  • Dalbavancin (Dalvance®) is an antibiotic that can be used for skin and soft tissue infections, providing MRSA coverage
  • It cannot be used in other infections or sepsis
  • Dalbavancin may be appealing as a single dose lasts about 2 weeks
  • Expense is currently a large barrier to use
  • Patients with a vancomycin allergy will likely be allergic to Dalbavancin as the two are related
