Taurolidine is an antimicrobial agent derived from taurine, primarily used as an antimicrobial irrigating solution to prevent catheter-related bloodstream infections and as an adjunctive treatment in peritonitis and certain surgical procedures. It is not widely approved as a systemically administered drug and is used mostly for local/antimicrobial applications. Taurolidine is not broadly approved for systemic therapeutic use in most countries.
Pharmacokinetic parameters are for healthy adult volunteers following intravenous infusion of taurolidine.
