Xerava is a prescription medication used to treat adults with intra-abdominal (stomach) infections that are difficult to treat. Xerava belongs to a group of antibiotics called tetracyclines. Tetracyclines kill bacterial cells that cause infection by binding to and blocking part of the cell machinery that is involved in making proteins.

This medication is available in an injectable form to be given directly into a vein (IV) by a healthcare professional. The medicine is given once every 12 hours for at least 4 days and up to 14 days. 

Common side effects of Xerava include infusion site reactions, nausea, and vomiting.
