LOS ANGELES, Oct. 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- ViaDerma, Inc.
(OTCQB: VDRM), a specialty pharmaceutical company devoted to
bringing new products to market, has recently released a
revolutionary new wound care drug called TetraStem. TetraStem is a
topical liquid tetracycline-based antibiotic that uses a
patent-pending innovative transdermal delivery system that can
convert oral medication active ingredients into topical drugs. The
drug is FDA registered as a first aid antibiotic to help prevent
skin infection in minor cuts, scrapes, and burns, but has also
shown to be effective in fighting methicillin-resistant
Staphyloccus aureus (MRSA) infections.
According to Mayo Clinic, Staph bacteria are normally found on
the skin or in the nose of about one-third of the population. The
bacteria are generally harmless unless they enter the body through
a cut or other wound, and even then they usually cause only minor
skin problems in healthy people. MRSA infection is caused by a
strain of staph bacteria that's become resistant to the antibiotics
commonly used to treat ordinary staph infections. This can allow
the infections to spread and sometimes become life-threatening.
According to the CDC MRSA kills about 11,000 people each year in
the United States.
ViaDerma's founder and CEO Dr. Christopher Otiko comments, "Initial case
studies involving TetraStem have showed remarkable success. The
most memorable was a woman in Florida who was on IV antibiotics for Systemic
MRSA. The patient's MRSA infection was drug resistant and the usual
medications were not working. However, after advising the patient
to apply TetraStem directly to her neck and wrist the patient was
symptom-free within two months."
ViaDerma is currently in negotiations to test TetraStem at
hospitals in Florida with plans to
expand the use of the drug across America. TetraStem is currently
being sold in various retail outlets. For more information about
