Lacticaseibacillus Rhamnosus and Dalbavancin Hydrochloride

Here is the interaction we found between these two, with the evidence behind it.

Moderate

ANTIBIOTIC DRUGS

Why this applies to Dalbavancin Hydrochloride

Dalbavancin Hydrochloride falls under ANTIBIOTIC DRUGS — the group Lacticaseibacillus Rhamnosus interacts with.

Theoretically, taking Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus with antibiotic drugs might decrease the effectiveness of L. rhamnosus.
L. rhamnosus preparations usually contain live and active organisms. Therefore, simultaneously taking antibiotics might kill a significant number of the organisms. Tell patients to separate administration of antibiotics and L. rhamnosus preparations by at least two hours.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Probable Evidence D

Interaction has not been documented in well-controlled studies, however, the interaction has been demonstrated in some small human studies or in controlled animal studies in conjunction with multiple case reports..

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's the simple version: this interaction works against the probiotic, not the antibiotic. Dalbavancin (Dalvance) is a lipoglycopeptide antibiotic that kills bacteria, and your L. rhamnosus supplement is itself live bacteria. So an antibiotic in your system can wipe out some of those probiotic organisms before they ever get a chance to help your gut. Your dalbavancin will still work just fine for your skin infection.

One thing to keep in mind: dalbavancin is given as an injection and sticks around in the body for a long time, sometimes a week or more. So separating doses by a couple of hours, which works for pills, won't fully solve it here. This concern is theoretical, so don't worry, but ask your pharmacist if a probiotic is even worth taking during this treatment.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Dalbavancin Hydrochloride page

“Everything on the dalbavancin (Dalvance) interaction list points in one direction. No supplement on file makes this IV skin-infection antibiotic dangerous or weaker; instead, dalbavancin can kill the live organisms in probiotic products, so the supplement is the one that loses.”

About Dalbavancin Injection

What Is Dalbavancin Injection Used For?

Dalvance (dalbavancin) injection is approved to treat acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI) in adults and children from birth through age 17. These are serious bacterial skin infections that require treatment with an antibacterial given by IV.

It works against specific Gram-positive bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus (both methicillin-susceptible and methicillin-resistant strains, known as MRSA), several Streptococcus species, and vancomycin-susceptible Enterococcus faecalis. It should only be used when one of these susceptible bacteria is proven or strongly suspected to be causing the infection.
