Could a simple shot replace IV antibiotics? new study explores
NCT ID NCT04434300
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested if a powerful antibiotic called daptomycin works just as well when injected under the skin as when given through a vein. Twelve healthy volunteers received the drug both ways to compare how the body absorbs it. The goal is to find a simpler, more convenient option for patients who have trouble with IVs.
