📖 What it is MedlinePlus · NLM

Daptomycin injection is used to treat certain blood infections or serious skin infections caused by bacteria in adults and children 1 year of age and older. Daptomycin injection is in a class of medications called cyclic lipopeptide antibiotics. It works by killing bacteria. Antibiotics such as daptomycin injection will not work for treating colds, flu, or other viral infections. Using antibiotics when they are not needed increases your risk of getting an infection later that resists antibiotic treatment.

Pricing

A drug doesn't have one price. Each row is a different public payment system, and none is what you'd pay at the counter — that depends on your insurance. The ⓘ on each row explains what it measures.

Where does this data come from?
NADAC (National Average Drug Acquisition Cost) is the CMS weekly pharmacy-acquisition-cost survey — what pharmacies pay. ASP (Average Sales Price) is the CMS Medicare Part B drug-payment file, published quarterly. Medicaid pays is computed by us from CMS State Drug Utilization Data (total reimbursed ÷ units, trailing 12 months) — gross of rebates and inclusive of dispensing fees, so it reflects what Medicaid paid, not an acquisition cost. Medicare drug plans pay is the median negotiated point-of-sale unit cost across plans listing this NDC in the CMS quarterly Prescription Drug Plan pricing files, before rebates. The VA pays is the federal contract price (FSS, and the statutory Big 4 ceiling where listed) from the VA National Acquisition Center pharmaceutical price file. All are free public government data; each measures a different payer, so the figures are not directly comparable.

We did not find an FDA-approved generic match for this exact strength, form and route. Patent/protection dates below may affect future generic timing.

🛡️ Latest patent/protection date listed: FDA patent/protection data lists protections through Mar 2041. This may affect when a full generic version becomes widely available, but it is not a guaranteed launch date.
📅 FDA approved Feb 27, 2023 RLD RS ⏳ ~14.4 yr to latest listed protection

Why the date isn’t exact: Generic timing can change because patents may be challenged, settled, licensed, added, removed, or worked around with a narrower label — and FDA approval does not always mean a pharmacy can get the generic today.

LOE
Substance patent Formulation patent Method-of-use patent Exclusivity Pediatric +6mo
🏛️FDA exclusivity
FDA-granted marketing protection. It’s separate from patents and may be shorter than patent protection.
🧪Product / substance patents
Patents covering the active ingredient, product, formulation, or related drug features.
🎯Method-of-use patents
Patents covering specific approved uses. These can sometimes be carved out with a “skinny label,” but not always.
🛈 What do these terms mean?
Patent
Legal protection listed in the Orange Book that may delay generic approval or launch. Issued by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office.
Substance patent
Covers the active drug molecule itself — the hardest to design around. A generic generally can’t launch until it expires.
Formulation (product) patent
Covers a specific formulation or dosage form. A generic can sometimes work around it with a different formulation.
Method-of-use patent
A patent covering one specific approved use of the drug — not necessarily the whole molecule. A generic can sometimes launch with a “skinny label” that carves out the protected use and keeps the others.
Skinny label
A generic label that omits a still-patented use when the FDA allows it — letting a generic reach the market for the unprotected uses.
Exclusivity
FDA-granted marketing protection, separate from patents — e.g. 5-yr new chemical entity, 7-yr orphan drug, or a +6-month pediatric extension.
Paragraph IV
A generic applicant’s formal challenge to a listed patent. It can potentially lead to earlier generic entry, but often involves litigation or a settlement.
RLD / RS
Reference Listed Drug — the brand product the FDA uses as the reference for generic applications. Reference Standard — the product the FDA expects generics to compare against in bioequivalence testing.
TE / AB rating
FDA therapeutic-equivalence rating. An AB rating generally means the FDA considers a generic therapeutically equivalent to — and substitutable for — the brand.
LOE (loss of exclusivity)
The latest patent or exclusivity currently listed — the loss-of-exclusivity / latest-listed-protection date shown on this page. Paragraph-IV challenges and settlements can move the real date earlier; FDA approval and a manufacturer’s decision to market can move it later.

Built from the FDA Orange Book. The bars above are scaled to each protection’s expiry; the red LOE marker is the last one to lapse.

Common questions
Is there a generic version of DAPTOMYCIN 350 MG/50 ML-NS BAG?
No FDA-approved generic equivalent is currently listed in the FDA Orange Book for DAPTOMYCIN 350 MG/50 ML-NS BAG. Based on the patents and exclusivity currently listed, the Orange Book estimate is that full-label generic entry may be delayed until Mar 2041 — an estimate, not a guaranteed launch date.
The FDA approved a generic — why can’t I get it at my pharmacy yet?
FDA approval and pharmacy availability are two different things. The FDA can approve a generic years before it actually reaches pharmacies, because the brand company may still hold patents or have a settlement that delays the launch. A manufacturer also has to choose to make and sell it, and have supply ready. So a drug can be “FDA-approved generic exists” and still be brand-only at the counter today.
Why do different websites show different generic release dates?
Generic availability is not based on one single date. Some sources use the first exclusivity expiration, some use the last product patent, and others use the latest method-of-use patent. Patent challenges, settlements, licenses, and label carve-outs can also change the real-world launch date. This page shows the underlying Orange Book dates so you can see why estimates may differ.
What does “FDA listed” mean?
It means the product appears in the FDA’s official NDC directory. That’s a good sign a product exists and is intended for the U.S. market, but on its own it does not confirm a pharmacy can fill it today. Where we have recent retail pricing data (NADAC) for a product, we label it “Availability likely” instead.
What does a patent or protection date mean here?
It’s the latest date currently listed in the FDA Orange Book for a patent or exclusivity on the brand product. It can affect when a full generic version becomes widely available — but it is not a guaranteed generic launch date. Generics sometimes arrive earlier (through a settlement or patent challenge) or later (a manufacturer still has to make and sell one).
What does “current Orange Book estimate” mean?
It means we are using the latest patent and exclusivity dates currently listed in the FDA Orange Book. It is not a guaranteed launch date.
Can a generic come out before the last patent expires?
Sometimes. A generic company may challenge a patent, settle with the brand manufacturer, receive a license, or obtain approval with a narrower label that avoids a patented use. In other cases, the last listed protection may delay full-label generic competition.
Can a generic come out after the listed dates?
Yes. Even after patents or exclusivity expire, a generic still needs FDA approval and a manufacturer must choose to market it. Supply, litigation, business decisions, or regulatory issues can delay actual availability.
What is the difference between patents and exclusivity?
Patents are legal protections usually issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. FDA exclusivity is marketing protection granted by the FDA. They are separate, and either one can affect generic timing.
Why are there multiple patent dates?
One drug can have several patents covering different things: the active ingredient, a formulation, a manufacturing process, or a specific approved use. That is why a page may show several expiration dates instead of one simple generic date.
Built from FDA Orange Book patent and exclusivity data. Dates are refreshed from public FDA data when available; the marker is max(latest patent expiry, latest exclusivity expiry). Paragraph-IV settlements and first-filer 180-day exclusivity can shift the real date; a method-of-use patent may allow an earlier skinny-label generic for non-protected indications. Generic launch timing is an estimate, not a guarantee.
Where does this data come from?
Patents and exclusivity from the FDA Orange Book (small-molecule drugs), refreshed from public FDA data. Generic launch timing is an estimate, not a guarantee.

4 inactive ingredients listed in the exact product block matched to this NDC.

Where does this data come from?
Data sourced from official FDA Structured Product Labeling (SPL) via DailyMed — ingredient classCode="IACT" elements from the exact product block matched by this NDC. Label-section narrative from DailyMed / the openFDA label index is shown separately when available.

Inactive ingredient FAQ

Are inactive ingredients the same for every manufacturer?
No. Inactive ingredients can differ by manufacturer, dosage form, strength, and package / product version.
Why might an inactive ingredient be missing?
Some SPLs do not provide a complete structured inactive-ingredient list, and older or unusual labels may only include the information in narrative text.
Can inactive ingredients matter?
Yes. They can matter for allergies, intolerances, dyes, gluten / lactose concerns, preservatives, and formulation differences — but confirm with a pharmacist or the manufacturer when it’s clinically important.

(5.5) • Peripheral neuropathy: Monitor for neuropathy and consider discontinuation.

(5.6) • Potential nervous system and/or muscular system effects in pediatric patients younger than 12 months: Avoid use of Daptomycin in Sodium Chloride Injection in this age group. (5.7) • Clostridioides difficile– associated diarrhea: Evaluate patients if diarrhea occurs. (5.8) • Persisting or relapsing S. aureus bacteremia/endocarditis: Perform susceptibility testing and rule out sequestered foci of infection.

5.1Anaphylaxis/Hypersensitivity Reactions Anaphylaxis/hypersensitivity reactions have been reported with the use of antibacterial agents, including daptomycin for injection, and may be life-threatening. If an allergic reaction to Daptomycin in Sodium Chloride Injection occurs, discontinue the drug and institute appropriate therapy [see Adverse Reactions (6.2) ].

5.2Myopathy and Rhabdomyolysis Myopathy, defined as muscle aching or muscle weakness in conjunction with increases in creatine phosphokinase (CPK) values to greater than 10 times the upper limit of normal (ULN), has been reported with the use of daptomycin for injection. Rhabdomyolysis, with or without acute renal failure, has been reported [see Adverse Reactions (6.2) ] . Patients receiving Daptomycin in Sodium Chloride Injection should be monitored for the development of muscle pain or weakness, particularly of the distal extremities.

In patients who receive Daptomycin in Sodium Chloride Injection, CPK levels should be monitored weekly, and more frequently in patients who received recent prior or concomitant therapy with an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor or in whom elevations in CPK occur during treatment with Daptomycin in Sodium Chloride Injection. In adult patients with renal impairment, both renal function and CPK should be monitored more frequently than once weekly [see Use in Specific Populations (8.6) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]. In Phase 1 studies and Phase 2 clinical trials in adults, CPK elevations appeared to be more frequent when daptomycin for injection was dosed more than once daily.

Therefore, Daptomycin in Sodium Chloride Injection should not be dosed more frequently than once a day. Daptomycin in Sodium Chloride Injection should be discontinued in patients with unexplained signs and symptoms of myopathy in conjunction with CPK elevations to levels >1,000 U/L (~5× ULN), and in patients without reported symptoms who have marked elevations in CPK, with levels >2,000 U/L (≥10× ULN). In addition, consideration should be given to suspending agents associated with rhabdomyolysis, such as HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, temporarily in patients receiving Daptomycin in Sodium Chloride Injection [see Drug Interactions (7.1) ].

5.3Eosinophilic Pneumonia Eosinophilic pneumonia has been reported in patients receiving daptomycin for injection [see Adverse Reactions (6.2) ]. In reported cases associated with daptomycin for injection, patients developed fever, dyspnea with hypoxic respiratory insufficiency, and diffuse pulmonary infiltrates or organizing pneumonia. In general, patients… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]

6.1Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. Clinical Trial Experience in Adult Patients Clinical trials enrolled 1,864 adult patients treated with daptomycin for injection and 1,416 treated with comparator. Complicated Skin and Skin Structure Infection Trials in Adults In Phase 3 complicated skin and skin structure infection (cSSSI) trials in adult patients, daptomycin for injection was discontinued in 15/534 (2.8%) patients due to an adverse reaction, while comparator was discontinued in 17/558 (3.0%) patients.

The rates of the most common adverse reactions, organized by body system, observed in adult patients with cSSSI (receiving 4 mg/kg daptomycin for injection) are displayed in Table 6 . Table 6.

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS

7.1HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitors In healthy adult subjects, concomitant administration of daptomycin for injection and simvastatin had no effect on plasma trough concentrations of simvastatin, and there were no reports of skeletal myopathy [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]. However, inhibitors of HMG-CoA reductase may cause myopathy, which is manifested as muscle pain or weakness associated with elevated levels of creatine phosphokinase (CPK). In the adult Phase 3 S. aureus bacteremia/endocarditis trial, some patients who received prior or concomitant treatment with an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor developed elevated CPK [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ].

Experience with the coadministration of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors and daptomycin for injection in patients is limited; therefore, consideration should be given to suspending use of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors temporarily in patients receiving Daptomycin in Sodium Chloride Injection.

7.2Drug-Laboratory Test Interactions Clinically relevant plasma concentrations of daptomycin have been observed to cause a significant concentration-dependent false prolongation of prothrombin time (PT) and elevation of International Normalized Ratio (INR) when certain recombinant thromboplastin reagents are utilized for the assay. The possibility of an erroneously elevated PT/INR result due to interaction with a recombinant thromboplastin reagent may be minimized by drawing specimens for PT or INR testing near the time of trough plasma concentrations of daptomycin.

However, sufficient daptomycin concentrations may be present at trough to cause interaction. If confronted with an abnormally high PT/INR result in a patient being treated with Daptomycin in Sodium Chloride Injection, it is recommended that clinicians: 1. Repeat the assessment of PT/INR, requesting that the specimen be drawn just prior to the next Daptomycin in Sodium Chloride Injection dose (i.e., at trough concentration).

If the PT/INR value obtained at trough remains substantially elevated above what would otherwise be expected, consider evaluating PT/INR utilizing an alternative method. 2. Evaluate for other causes of abnormally elevated PT/INR results.

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary Limited published data on use of daptomycin for injection in pregnant women are insufficient to inform a drug-associated risk for major birth defects and miscarriage. In animal reproduction studies performed in rats and rabbits daptomycin was administered intravenously during organogenesis at doses 2 and 4–times, respectively, the recommended 6 mg/kg human dose (on a body surface area basis). No evidence of adverse developmental outcomes was observed.

The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively.

Data Animal Data In pregnant rats, daptomycin was administered intravenously at doses of 5, 20, or 75 mg/kg/day during the gestation days 6 to 18. Maternal body weight gain was decreased at 75 mg/kg/day. No embryo/fetal effects were noted at the highest dose of 75 mg/kg/day, a dose approximately 2-fold higher than in humans at the recommended maximum dose of 6 mg/kg (based on body surface area).

In pregnant rabbits, daptomycin was administered intravenously at doses of 5, 20, or 75 mg/kg/day during the gestation days 6 to 15. Maternal body weight gain and food consumption were decreased at 75 mg/kg/day. No embryo/fetal effects were noted at the highest dose of 75 mg/kg/day, a dose approximately 4-fold higher than in humans at the maximum recommended dose of 6 mg/kg (based on body surface area).

In a combined fertility and pre/postnatal development study, daptomycin was administered intravenously to female rats at doses of 2, 25, 75 mg/kg/day from 14-days pre-mating through lactation/postpartum day 20). No effects on pre/postnatal development were observed up to the highest dose of 75 mg/kg/day, a dose approximately 2-fold higher than the maximum recommended human dose of 6 mg/kg (based on body surface area) 1 .

8.2Lactation Risk Summary Limited published data report that daptomycin is present in human milk at infant doses of 0.1% of the maternal dose (see Data) 2,3,4 . There is no information on the effects of daptomycin on the breastfed infant or the effects of daptomycin on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for daptomycin for injection and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from daptomycin for injection or from the underlying maternal condition.

8.4Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of daptomycin for injection in the treatment of cSSSI and S. aureus bloodstream infections (bacteremia) have been established in the age groups 1 to 17 years of age. Use of daptomycin for injection in these age groups is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies in adults, with additional data from pharmacokinetic studies in pediatric patients, and from safety, efficacy and PK studies in pediatric patients with cSSSI and S. aureus bloodstream infections [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) , Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) , and Clinical Studies (14.1 , 14.2) ] .

Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients below the age of one year have not been established. Avoid use of Daptomycin in Sodium Chloride Injection in pediatric patients younger than one year of age due to the risk of potential effects on muscular, neuromuscular, and/or nervous systems (either peripheral and/or central) observed in neonatal dogs [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7) and Nonclinical Toxicology (13.2) ]. Because of the limitations of the available strengths and administration requirements (i.e., administration of fractional doses is not recommended) of Daptomycin in Sodium Chloride Injection, and to avoid unintentional overdose, this product is not recommended for use if a dose… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]

Daptomycin in Sodium Chloride Injection is not indicated in pediatric patients with renal impairment because dosage has not been established in these patients. Daptomycin in Sodium Chloride Injection has not been studied in pediatric patients with other bacterial infections.

🧓 Geriatric Use 182 words ▾

8.5Geriatric Use Of the 534 adult patients treated with daptomycin for injection in Phase 3 controlled clinical trials of complicated skin and skin structure infections (cSSSI), 27% were 65 years of age or older and 12% were 75 years of age or older. Of the 120 adult patients treated with daptomycin for injection in the Phase 3 controlled clinical trial of S. aureus bacteremia/endocarditis, 25% were 65 years of age or older and 16% were 75 years of age or older. In Phase 3 adult clinical trials of cSSSI and S. aureus bacteremia/endocarditis, clinical success rates were lower in patients ≥65 years of age than in patients <65 years of age.

In addition, treatment-emergent adverse events were more common in patients ≥65 years of age than in patients <65 years of age. The exposure of daptomycin was higher in healthy elderly subjects than in healthy young adult subjects. However, no adjustment of Daptomycin in Sodium Chloride Injection dosage is warranted for elderly patients with creatinine clearance (CL CR ) ≥30 mL/min [see Dosage and Administration (2.6) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ].

🆘 Overdosage 76 words ▾

10 OVERDOSAGE In the event of overdosage, supportive care is advised with maintenance of glomerular filtration. Daptomycin is cleared slowly from the body by hemodialysis (approximately 15% of the administered dose is removed over 4 hours) and by peritoneal dialysis (approximately 11% of the administered dose is removed over 48 hours). The use of high-flux dialysis membranes during 4 hours of hemodialysis may increase the percentage of dose removed compared with that removed by low-flux membranes.

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

12.1Mechanism of Action Daptomycin is an antibacterial drug [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.4) ] .

12.2Pharmacodynamics Based on animal models of infection, the antimicrobial activity of daptomycin appears to correlate with the AUC/MIC (area under the concentration-time curve/minimum inhibitory concentration) ratio for certain pathogens, including S. aureus . The principal pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic parameter best associated with clinical and microbiological cure has not been elucidated in clinical trials with daptomycin for injection.

12.3Pharmacokinetics Daptomycin for Injection Administered over a 30-Minute Period in Adults The mean and standard deviation (SD) pharmacokinetic parameters of daptomycin at steady-state following intravenous (IV) administration of daptomycin for injection over a 30-minute period at 4 to 12 mg/kg every 24h to healthy young adults are summarized in Table 11 . Table 11. Mean (SD) Daptomycin Pharmacokinetic Parameters in Healthy Adult Volunteers at Steady-State Dose Daptomycin was administered by IV infusion over a 30-minute period.

Doses of Daptomycin in excess of 6 mg/kg have not been approved. (mg/kg) Pharmacokinetic Parameters AUC 0-24 , area under the concentration-time curve from 0 to 24 hours; t 1/2 , elimination half-life; V ss , volume of distribution at steady-state; CL T , total plasma clearance; C max , maximum plasma concentration.

Steady-state trough concentrations were achieved by the third daily dose. The mean (SD) steady-state trough concentrations attained following the administration of 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 mg/kg every 24h were 5.9 (1.6), 6.7 (1.6), 10.3 (5.5), 12.9 (2.9), and 13.7 (5.2) mcg/mL, respectively. Distribution Daptomycin is reversibly bound to human plasma proteins, primarily to serum albumin, in a concentration-independent manner.

The overall mean binding ranges from 90 to 93%. In clinical studies, mean serum protein binding in adult subjects with creatinine clearance (CLCR) ≥30 mL/min was comparable to that observed in healthy adult subjects with normal renal function. However, there was a trend toward decreasing serum protein binding among subjects with CL CR <30 mL/min (88%), including those receiving hemodialysis (86%) and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) (84%).

The protein binding of daptomycin in adult subjects with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class B) was similar to that in healthy adult subjects. The volume of distribution at steady-state (V ss ) of daptomycin in healthy adult subjects was approximately

0.1L/kg and was independent of dose. Elimination Metabolism In in vitro studies, daptomycin was not metabolized by human liver microsomes. In 5 healthy adults after infusion of radiolabeled 14 C-daptomycin, the plasma total radioactivity was similar to the concentration determined by microbiological assay.

Inactive metabolites were detected in urine, as determined by the difference between total radioactive concentrations and microbiologically active concentrations. In a separate study, no metabolites were observed in plasma on Day 1 following the administration of daptomycin for injection at 6 mg/kg to adult subjects. Minor amounts of three oxidative metabolites and one unidentified compound were detected in urine.

📋 Description ~1 min read ▾

11 DESCRIPTION Daptomycin in Sodium Chloride Injection contains daptomycin, a cyclic lipopeptide antibacterial agent derived from the fermentation of Streptomyces roseosporus . The chemical name is N -decanoyl-L-tryptophyl-D-asparaginyl-L-aspartyl-L-threonylglycyl-L-ornithyl-L-aspartyl-D-alanyl-L-aspartylglycyl-D-seryl- threo -3-methyl-L-glutamyl-3-anthraniloyl-L-alanine ℇ1 -lactone. The chemical structure is: The empirical formula is C 72 H 101 N 17 O 26 ; the molecular weight is 1620.67.

Daptomycin in Sodium Chloride Injection is a single-dose frozen, premixed, iso-osmotic, sterile, nonpyrogenic solution containing either 350 milligrams or 500 milligrams of daptomycin, per 50 mL GALAXY container (PL 2040 Plastic); or 700 milligrams or 1,000 milligrams daptomycin, per 100 mL GALAXY container (PL 2040 Plastic). Daptomycin in Sodium Chloride Injection must be a clear, slightly yellow solution. Sodium Chloride, USP (0.9%) has been added to adjust osmolality.

The approximate osmolality is 320 mOsmol/kg. Monobasic Sodium Phosphate, USP and Dibasic Sodium Phosphate, USP were added as buffer agents and the pH may have been adjusted with Hydrochloric Acid, NF and/or Sodium Hydroxide, NF. Water for Injection, USP is added as drug vehicle.

Contains no preservative. The solution is intended for intravenous use after thawing to room temperature. This GALAXY container (PL 2040 Plastic) is fabricated from a specially designed multilayer plastic (PL 2040).

Solutions are in contact with the polyethylene layer of this container and can leach out certain chemical components of the plastic in very small amounts within the expiration period. However, the suitability of the plastic has been confirmed in tests in animals according to the USP biological tests for plastic containers, as well as by tissue culture toxicity studies.

💬 Information for Patients ~2 min read ▾

17 PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION Allergic Reactions Advise patients that allergic reactions, including serious skin, kidney, lung, or other organ reactions, could occur and that these serious reactions require immediate treatment. Patients should report any previous allergic reactions to daptomycin [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1 , 5.4 , 5.5) ]. Muscle Pain or Weakness (Myopathy and Rhabdomyolysis, Peripheral Neuropathy) Advise patients to report muscle pain or weakness, especially in the forearms and lower legs, as well as tingling or numbness [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2 , 5.6) ].

Cough, Breathlessness or Fever (Eosinophilic Pneumonia) Advise patients to report any symptoms of cough, breathlessness, or fever [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3 )]. C. difficile -Associated Diarrhea (CDAD) Advise patients that diarrhea is a common problem caused by antibacterials including daptomycin for injection that usually ends when the antibacterial is discontinued. Sometimes after starting treatment with antibacterials, including Daptomycin in Sodium Chloride Injection, patients can develop watery and bloody stools (with or without stomach cramps and fever), even as late as 2 or more months after having received the last dose of the antibacterial.

If this occurs, patients should contact their physician as soon as possible [see Warnings and Precautions (5.8) ]. Antibacterial Resistance Patients should be counseled that antibacterial drugs, including Daptomycin in Sodium Chloride Injection, should be used to treat bacterial infections. They do not treat viral infections (e.g., the common cold).

When Daptomycin in Sodium Chloride Injection is prescribed to treat a bacterial infection, patients should be told that although it is common to feel better early in the course of therapy, the medication should be administered exactly as directed. Skipping doses or not completing the full course of therapy may (1) decrease the effectiveness of the immediate treatment and (2) increase the likelihood that bacteria will develop resistance and will not be treatable by Daptomycin in Sodium Chloride Injection or other antibacterial drugs in the future.

However, there was a trend toward decreasing serum protein binding among subjects with CL CR <30 mL/min (88%), including those receiving hemodialysis (86%) and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) (84%).

The protein binding of daptomycin in adult subjects with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class B) was similar to that in healthy adult subjects. The volume of distribution at steady-state (V ss ) of daptomycin in healthy adult subjects was approximately

0.1L/kg and was independent of dose. Elimination Metabolism In in vitro studies, daptomycin was not metabolized by human liver microsomes. In 5 healthy adults after infusion of radiolabeled 14 C-daptomycin, the plasma total radioactivity was similar to the concentration determined by microbiological assay.

Inactive metabolites were detected in urine, as determined by the difference between total radioactive concentrations and microbiologically active concentrations. In a separate study, no metabolites were observed in plasma on Day 1 following the administration of daptomycin for injection at 6 mg/kg to adult subjects. Minor amounts of three oxidative metabolites and one unidentified compound were detected in urine.

The site of metabolism has not been identified. Excretion Daptomycin is excreted primarily by the kidneys. In a mass balance study of 5 healthy adult subjects using radiolabeled daptomycin, approximately 78% of the administered dose was recovered from urine based on total radioactivity (approximately 52% of the dose based on microbiologically active concentrations), and 5.7% of the administered dose was recovered from feces (collected for up to 9 days) based on total radioactivity.

🧬 Pharmacodynamics 56 words ▾

12.2Pharmacodynamics Based on animal models of infection, the antimicrobial activity of daptomycin appears to correlate with the AUC/MIC (area under the concentration-time curve/minimum inhibitory concentration) ratio for certain pathogens, including S. aureus . The principal pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic parameter best associated with clinical and microbiological cure has not been elucidated in clinical trials with daptomycin for injection.

14 CLINICAL STUDIES

14.1Complicated Skin and Skin Structure Infections Adults with cSSSI Adult patients with clinically documented complicated skin and skin structure infections (cSSSI) ( Table 15 ) were enrolled in two randomized, multinational, multicenter, investigator-blinded trials comparing daptomycin for injection (4 mg/kg IV every 24h) with either vancomycin (1 g IV every 12h) or an anti-staphylococcal semi-synthetic penicillin (i.e., nafcillin, oxacillin, cloxacillin, or flucloxacillin; 4 to 12 g IV per day). Patients could switch to oral therapy after a minimum of 4 days of IV treatment if clinical improvement was demonstrated.

Patients known to have bacteremia at baseline were excluded. Patients with creatinine clearance (CL CR ) between 30 and 70 mL/min were to receive a lower dose of daptomycin for injection as specified in the protocol; however, the majority of patients in this subpopulation did not have the dose of daptomycin for injection adjusted. Table 15.

The two trials were similar in design but differed in patient characteristics, including history of diabetes and peripheral vascular disease. There were a total of 534 adult patients treated with daptomycin for injection and 558 treated with comparator in the two trials.

The majority (89.7%) of patients received IV medication exclusively. The efficacy endpoints in both trials were the clinical success rates in the intent-to-treat (ITT) population and in the clinically evaluable (CE) population. In study 9801, clinical success rates in the ITT population were 62.5% (165/264) in patients treated with daptomycin for injection and 60.9% (162/266) in patients treated with comparator drugs.

Clinical success rates in the CE population were 76.0% (158/208) in patients treated with daptomycin for injection and 76.7% (158/206) in patients treated with comparator drugs. In study 9901, clinical success rates in the ITT population were 80.4% (217/270) in patients treated with daptomycin for injection and 80.5% (235/292) in patients treated with comparator drugs. Clinical success rates in the CE population were 89.9% (214/238) in patients treated with daptomycin for injection and 90.4% (226/250) in patients treated with comparator drugs.

13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY

13.1Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility Long-term carcinogenicity studies in animals have not been conducted to evaluate the carcinogenic potential of daptomycin for injection. However, neither mutagenic nor clastogenic potential was found in a battery of genotoxicity tests, including the Ames assay, a mammalian cell gene mutation assay, a test for chromosomal aberrations in Chinese hamster ovary cells, an in vivo micronucleus assay, an in vitro DNA repair assay, and an in vivo sister chromatid exchange assay in Chinese hamsters.

Daptomycin did not affect the fertility or reproductive performance of male and female rats when administered intravenously at doses of 25, 75, or 150 mg/kg/day, which is approximately up to 9 times the estimated human exposure level based upon AUCs (or approximately up to 4 times the recommended human dose of 6 mg/kg based on body surface area comparison).

13.2Animal Toxicology and/or Pharmacology Adult Animals In animals, daptomycin administration has been associated with effects on skeletal muscle. However, there were no changes in cardiac or smooth muscle. Skeletal muscle effects were characterized by microscopic degenerative/regenerative changes and variable elevations in creatine phosphokinase (CPK).

No fibrosis or rhabdomyolysis was evident in repeat-dose studies up to the highest doses tested in rats (150 mg/kg/day) and dogs (100 mg/kg/day). The degree of skeletal myopathy showed no increase when treatment was extended from 1 month to up to 6 months. Severity was dose-dependent.

All muscle effects, including microscopic changes, were fully reversible within 30 days following the cessation of dosing. In adult animals, effects on peripheral nerve (characterized by axonal degeneration and frequently accompanied by significant losses of patellar reflex, gag reflex, and pain perception) were observed at daptomycin doses higher than those associated with skeletal myopathy. Deficits in the dogs’ patellar reflexes were seen within 2 weeks after the start of treatment at 40 mg/kg/day (9 times the human C max at the 6 mg/kg/day dose), with some clinical improvement noted within 2 weeks after the cessation of dosing.

However, at 75 mg/kg/day for 1 month, 7 of 8 dogs failed to regain full patellar reflex responses within a 3-month recovery period. In a separate study in dogs receiving doses of 75 and 100 mg/kg/day for 2 weeks, minimal residual histological changes were noted at 6 months after the cessation of dosing. However, recovery of peripheral nerve function was evident.

Tissue distribution studies in rats showed that daptomycin is retained in the kidney but appears to penetrate the blood-brain barrier only minimally following single and multiple doses. Juvenile Animals Target organs of daptomycin-related effects in 7-week-old juvenile dogs were skeletal muscle and nerve, the same target organs as in adult dogs. In juvenile dogs, nerve effects were noted at lower daptomycin blood concentrations than in adult dogs following 28 days of dosing.

In contrast to adult dogs, juvenile dogs also showed evidence of effects in nerves of the spinal cord as well as peripheral nerves after 28 days of dosing. No nerve effects were noted in juvenile dogs following 14 days of dosing at doses up to 75 mg/kg/day. Administration of daptomycin to 7-week-old juvenile dogs for 28 days at doses of 50 mg/kg/day produced minimal degenerative effects on the peripheral nerve and spinal cord in several animals, with no corresponding clinical signs.

A dose of 150 mg/kg/day for 28 days produced minimal degeneration in the peripheral nerve and spinal cord as well as minimal to mild degeneration of the skeletal muscle in a majority of animals, accompanied by slight to severe muscle weakness evident in most dogs. Following a 28-day recovery phase, microscopic examination revealed recovery of the skeletal muscle and the ulnar nerve effects, but nerve degeneration in the sciatic nerve and sp… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]

Medicaid utilization & spend

📍 This exact package only: Medicaid data is reported per full 11-digit NDC — labeler, product and pack size — so every number here is for this package alone, not the drug overall. Other pack sizes report separately.
💊 Pharmacy benefit only: These are Medicaid outpatient pharmacy claims, billed by NDC. They exclude the medical benefit — clinic- or hospital-administered drugs billed under HCPCS J-codes — so drugs used mostly that way (e.g. Avastin, Lucentis, Keytruda) can look low or missing here. That’s expected, not an error.

Questions about this listing

Why is there no price listed?
The pricing shown on our NDC pages comes from CMS NADAC, a voluntary survey of retail community pharmacy invoices. CMS does not publish a NADAC for every NDC — packages outside the retail survey (institutional and hospital products, bulk packages, discontinued items, and many OTC items) may never receive one. A missing price reflects the survey's scope, not this product's actual cost, and does not mean the product is free or unavailable.
Is the NDC printed on the package the same as the 11-digit billing NDC?
Yes, they identify this exact package in different formats. The form printed on the packaging and shown on DailyMed is the one the FDA registered. Insurance claims use a fixed 11-digit 5-4-2 format, so the short segment is padded with a leading zero and the dashes are dropped. The Identity section at the top of this page lists each form of this code.
Is this package still being marketed?
Yes, per the latest FDA NDC Directory data on this page: this package is listed as actively marketed, with no marketing end date reported by Baxter Healthcare Corporation. Listing status can change — the directory data on this page refreshes weekly.
Who lists this product with the FDA?
Baxter Healthcare Corporation is the labeler of record for this NDC — the company under whose FDA-assigned code the package is listed. The labeler may be the manufacturer itself or a distributor marketing the product under its own code.
Do I need a prescription for this product?
This NDC is listed with FDA as a prescription product, so it is dispensed under a prescriber's order. Your pharmacist can tell you whether any over-the-counter forms of the same medication exist.
Does this product have a billing J-code?
Yes — this NDC cross-references HCPCS code J0874 for medical-claim billing (typically used when a product is administered in a clinical setting rather than dispensed at a retail pharmacy). See the Billing section on this page.
This page identifies an FDA-listed package (the NDC) and reports public regulatory and pricing data about the listing. It is reference information, not a medical recommendation — talk to your pharmacist or prescriber about your own medication.
Where does this data come from?
Listing facts (marketing category, packager status, marketing dates) from the FDA openFDA NDC Directory; label availability from DailyMed; pricing coverage from CMS NADAC; equivalence scope from the FDA Orange Book.
