KIMYRSA (oritavancin diphosphate) is a semi-synthetic lipoglycopeptide antibacterial agent administered as a single 1,200 mg IV infusion over 1 hour. It treats acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI) caused by susceptible gram-positive organisms including S. aureus, S. pyogenes, S. agalactiae, and S. dysgalactiae. Oritavancin's mechanism correlates with AUC/MIC ratio, achieving rapid exposure with a long terminal half-life (~245 hours) enabling single-dose therapy.
