来法莫林(Xenleta)怎么购买

Xenleta was first approved for marketing in the United States in 2019 and is now available in China. Patients can purchase the drug through hospitals or pharmacies.

How to buy Xenleta

It is a prescription antibacterial drug and cannot be purchased and used by yourself. Patients must be diagnosed with bacterial pneumonia by a doctor and obtain a prescription from a doctor.

Lefamoren is already on the market in China, and patients should purchase it with a prescription at regular hospitals or authorized pharmacies. Since this drug is a new type of antibacterial drug, some hospitals or pharmacies may need to stock it in advance. Patients are advised to confirm the supply under the guidance of their doctor.

In addition, patients can also purchase drugs through domestic medical service institutions, which can usually help obtain the version of the drug they need.
