How does probenecid alter tigecycline s absorption?

See the DrugPatentWatch profile for probenecid

Probenecid is a medication that can affect the absorption of other drugs by decreasing their excretion by the kidneys [1]. However, according to the information available, there is no specific interaction between probenecid and tigecycline that would suggest probenecid alters tigecycline's absorption [2].

Tigecycline is an antibiotic that is not significantly metabolized by the liver and is primarily excreted unchanged by the kidneys [3]. The drug label for tigecycline does not list probenecid as a drug that affects its absorption or excretion [4].

It is important to note that while probenecid can affect the absorption and excretion of some drugs, it does not have a known interaction with tigecycline. However, as with any medication, it is always important to consult with a healthcare provider or pharmacist before starting or stopping any medications, including probenecid and tigecycline.
