Vancomycin is an antibiotic used to treat serious bacterial infections. It is often used to treat difficult-to-treat bacterial infections such as Staphylococcus aureus. This drug is mainly given through an intravenous injection and needs to be treated in a hospital or clinic. When using it, you should strictly follow the doctor's recommendations and prescriptions, and do not change the dosage or stop using it at will. During use, blood tests should be performed regularly to monitor the concentration of the drug in the body. Possible side effects include impaired kidney function, allergic reactions and hearing problems. If any adverse reactions occur, your doctor should be informed immediately. Vancomycin is a commonly used antibiotic in Hong Kong, but should only be used under medical supervision to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Instructions for use: Please use Vancomycin according to your doctor's prescription. It is usually given as an intravenous injection in a medical setting. Injections should be given slowly and for the frequency and duration recommended by your physician. During use, maintaining adequate fluid intake will help drug excretion.
Dosage Guidelines: The usual starting dose for adults is 1,000 mg every 6 to 12 hours. The dose may be adjusted based on the severity of the infection and the patient's condition. The dosage for children is based on weight and severity of the condition and needs to be determined by a physician. During use, medical professionals monitor drug concentrations to ensure efficacy and safety. Please strictly follow your physician's dosage instructions and do not adjust the dosage on your own.
