Vancomycin hydrochloride CAS:1404-93-9

Vancomycin hydrochloride is typically administered intravenously due to poor oral absorption. It is used to treat a variety of infections, including complicated skin and soft tissue infections, bloodstream infections, endocarditis, bone and joint infections, and meningitis caused by susceptible bacteria. The dosage and duration of treatment depend on the type and severity of the infection, as well as the patient's kidney function. Close monitoring of kidney function and drug levels in the blood is essential during treatment to prevent toxicity. Vancomycin hydrochloride should be used judiciously to minimize the risk of developing resistant bacteria. It is important to follow the healthcare provider's instructions carefully and complete the full course of treatment to ensure the infection is eradicated.
