    Elnut needs Tigercyclene!!!

    I knoaw there are a few on here that work in hospitals. I am in pretty bad shape in that the only Antibiotic that will help me is called "Tigercyclene". Problem is that UK does not have any and is having a difficult time in finding it across the state. This is the only antibiotic that will get the flesh eating bacteria under control. If you know where UK Hospital can get some for me please call me at 502-226-0935. My infection is spreading rapidly and I could use your help.

    I figure your just posting on here to cover all possibilities. Is this stuff that expensive or so widely used its out?? In my simple mind I thought it was just a matter of contacting the suppliers and either getting some shipped in or contacting another hospital to do the same. What gives with a shortage of an AB???
    What have they said? We are out and can't find any in the state? Well there are 49 more states to look in.

    $2700 per IV bag. UK does not have any nor does any hospital in Lexington. It is not a common Anti-biotic because 99% of the population can use Vancomycin to treat for Staph infection. I happen to be allergic to Vanc. Considering Peniculitis, Cellulitis, Pseudomoneous and MRSA that I have a history of and the fact I am allergic to Vanc, Tigecycline is what I need to get the infection under control.
