Vancocin (vancomycin hydrochloride)

Indications

Vancocin is indicated for the treatment of:

• C. difficile-associated diarrhea
• Enterocolitis caused by Staphylococcus aureus (including methicillin-resistant strains)

Dosage and Administration

• Take Vancocin capsules exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
• Swallow the capsules whole with a full glass of water.
• Take Vancocin at evenly spaced intervals to maintain a consistent level of the medication in your body.
• Complete the full course of medication, even if you start feeling better.
• Do not crush, chew, or break the Vancocin capsules.
• Avoid taking Vancocin with food, especially high-fat meals, as it may reduce its absorption.
• Do not skip doses or stop taking Vancocin before completing the prescribed course, even if your symptoms improve.

Mechanism of Action

Vancocin works by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls, which leads to the death of the bacteria. This action is particularly effective against certain types of bacteria, including those causing C. difficile-associated diarrhea and staphylococcal enterocolitis.

Contraindications

Hypersensitivity to Vancomycin.

Side Effects

Common Side Effects: 

• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Abdominal pain

Serious Side Effects:

• Severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis)
• Hearing loss (ototoxicity)
• Kidney damage (nephrotoxicity)

Precautions

• You need to take Vancocin orally to treat staphylococcal enterocolitis and C. difficile-associated diarrhea. It won’t work for other infections if taken this way.
• If you’re taking multiple doses for active C. difficile-associated diarrhea, you might have significant levels of the drug in your blood. Your doctor might need to monitor these levels.
• Kidney damage can happen during or after taking oral Vancocin, especially if you’re older. It’s a good idea to have your kidney function checked regularly.
• Hearing damage has been reported in some people taking Vancocin. In some cases, you might need your hearing checked.
• Using Vancocin without a confirmed bacterial infection might not help you and can increase the risk of developing drug-resistant bacteria.

Storage Instructions

Store Vancocin capsules at controlled room temperature, between 59°F to 86°F (15°C to 30°C).
