'''Quinupristin/dalfopristin''' (Synercid&reg;) is a combination of two [[antibiotic]]s used to treat [[infection]]s by [[staphylococcus|staphylococci]] and by [[vancomycin]]-resistant ''[[Enterococcus|Enterococcus faecium]]''. It is not effective against ''[[Enterococcus|Enterococcus faecalis]]'' infections.
 
Quinupristin and dalfopristin are both [[streptogramin]] antibiotics, derived from [[pristinamycin]]. Quinupristin is derived from pristinamycin I; dalfopristin from pristinamycin IIA. They are combined in a weight-to-weight ratio of 30% quinupristin to 70% dalfopristin.
 
==Administration==
[[Intravenous]], usually 7.5 mg/kg every 8-12 hours
 
==Mechanism of action==
Dalfopristin inhibits the early phase of [[protein]] synthesis in the bacterial [[ribosome]] and quinupristin inhibits the late phase of protein synthesis. The combination of the two components acts [[synergy|synergistically]] and is more effective [[in vitro]] than each component alone.
 
==Pharmacokinetics==
Clearance by the [[liver]], [[half-life]] 1-3 hours (with persistence of effects for 9-10 hours).
 
==Side effects==
#[[arthralgia|Joint]] or [[myalgia|muscle]] aches
#[[Nausea]], [[diarrhea]] or vomiting
#[[Rash]] or [[pruritus|itching]]
#[[Headache]]
