How ORLYNVAH works
ORLYNVAH is a novel treatment with a mechanism of action that offers a unique combination of sulopenem etzadroxil and probenecid in a single bilayer tablet. The addition of probenecid increases the bioavailability of sulopenem in the body.1
Sulopenem etzadroxil1
Is converted after ingestion to sulopenem, the active drug
Sulopenem kills bacteria by attaching to penicillin-binding proteins, stopping the bacteria from building their cell walls
Probenecid1
Helps sulopenem to remain in blood plasma for longer, improving the bioavailability of sulopenem
