Ketek Antibiotic

Weitz and Luxenberg is no longer accepting Ketek cases.

The antibiotic Ketek is used to treat infections such as sinus infections, bronchitis and pneumonia, but recently has been shown in studies to have dangerous side effects including liver failure, hepatitis, and death.

Antibiotics, such as Ketek, kill or slow the growth of bacteria. Antibiotics are one class of antimicrobials, a larger group which also includes anti-viral, anti-fungal, and anti-parasitic drugs. They are relatively harmless to the host, and therefore can be used to treat infections.

The term, coined by Selman Waksman, originally described only those formulations derived from living organisms, in contradistinction to "chemotherapeutic agents", which were purely synthetic.

Nowadays the term "antibiotic" is also applied to synthetic antimicrobials, such as the sulfa drugs. Antibiotics are small molecules with a molecular weight less than 2000. They are not enzymes. Some antibiotics are made from mold.
