EMBLAVEO is a fixed-dose combination of aztreonam (a monobactam antibiotic) and avibactam (a beta-lactamase inhibitor) administered intravenously as a powder for reconstitution. It is indicated for complicated intra-abdominal infections (cIAI) caused by susceptible gram-negative bacteria with no alternative treatment options. The mechanism combines aztreonam's cell wall disruption with avibactam's inhibition of bacterial beta-lactamase enzymes that confer antibiotic resistance.
As a newly approved product in growth phase, the brand team will be in launch build-out mode with expansion of sales force, medical affairs, and commercial operations over the next 24 months.
