NewTimeSpace News: On 13 November 2026, Everest Medicines Limited (stock code: 01952) said China's NMPA approved a 100mg strength of XERAVA (eravacycline for injection, branded Yijia in Chinese). XERAVA is the world's first and only fully synthetic fluorocycline antibacterial as of November 2026, with a broad spectrum and good safety, and is recommended by Chinese and international guidelines for empirical treatment of complicated intra-abdominal infections (cIAI).

It is dosed by body weight at 1mg/kg every 12 hours; the new strength gives a more flexible option that cuts preparation steps and drug waste. The 50mg strength was approved in China in 2023 for adult cIAI, and XERAVA was cleared by the NMPA in March 2023 and launched in mainland China that July. The Jiashan base has obtained a production licence and localisation is under way, with process validation completed for the 50mg form.
