Pharmacokinetics and Safety of Tigecycline in the Treatment of Clostridium Difficile Associated Diarrhea (CDAD)

: Standard treatment doses of oral antibiotics (vancomycin or metronidazole) for CDAD along with IV tigecycline (100 milligram loading dose followed by 50 milligrams every 12 hours) will be given to patients during their hospitalization (usually 7-14 days). Patients well enough to go home will receive only oral therapy.
