What's the frequency of gi side effects on tigecycline?

How often does tigecycline cause GI side effects?

Tigecycline is commonly associated with gastrointestinal (GI) adverse effects. Across clinical studies, the most frequently reported GI events include nausea and vomiting, with diarrhea also occurring.

What are the most common GI side effects (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea)?

In trials of tigecycline, GI side effects were among the most frequent reasons for treatment interruption and included:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea

How high are the rates in practice?

Rates vary by indication and study design, but GI adverse events (especially nausea and vomiting) are frequent enough to be considered class-label risks for tigecycline.

Where can I find the exact percentages?

For the precise “frequency” numbers (overall incidence and by event type) you can check the adverse-reaction table in the prescribing information for tigecycline (or a label summary site that reproduces it). If you share which tigecycline label you’re looking at (for example, a specific country’s SmPC/label or a particular trial context), I can help you locate the exact incidence figures.
