How it Works

How Vancomycin works Vancomycin is an antibiotic that kills bacteria by inhibiting their ability to form the protective covering (cell wall) necessary for survival.

Expert Advice

  • You have been prescribed Vancomycin to treat serious bacterial infections of the heart, blood, bones, and soft tissues.
  • Do not skip any doses and complete the full course of treatment, even if you feel better.
  • Stopping the medication early may cause the infection to return and make it harder to treat.
  • Vancomycin should be administered slowly via a drip.
  • Rapid infusion can lead to reactions such as:
    • Low blood pressure
    • Wheezing
    • Shortness of breath
    • Itching
  • Your doctor may regularly monitor your kidney function and hearing while you are taking this medication.
