Vancocin is a prescription drug used to treat various bacterial infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile). It contains an active ingredient called Vancomycin. Vancomycin is in a class of medications called glycopeptide antibiotics. It works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria, preventing them from forming cell walls.
Vancomycin can be used to treat Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile) infections as well as Staphylococcus aureus (“Staph”) infections of the intestines or colon. Additionally, it can be used to treat other infections caused by methicillin-resistant staphylococci, enterococci, or diphtheroids, but in the injection form only. It should only be used to treat bacterial infections and not viral infections.
Vancomycin comes in capsule form to be taken orally. The usual dosage is 3-4 times per day for 7-10 days. To make sure you take the medication consistently, try to take it at the same time every day. You should carefully follow the prescription label directions and consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions. Do not alter the dosage, frequency, or duration of vancomycin without your doctor’s approval.
You should start to feel better in the first few days of taking vancomycin. If you do not experience any improvements, or if your symptoms get worse, you should contact your doctor. Complete the entire course of treatment, even if you feel better. Stopping vancomycin too soon, or missing doses, may not completely cure your infection, and it increases the risk of antibiotic resistance.
The recommended dosages of vancomycin can vary depending on the condition being treated, the age of the patient, and their weight.
