Description
Vancomycin 1Gm Add/Van is an antibiotic commonly utilized in the treatment of serious bacterial infections caused by gram-positive organisms. It is particularly effective against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea when oral formulations are unsuitable.
The mechanism of action of vancomycin involves inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. By binding to precursors of the bacterial cell wall, vancomycin disrupts its construction, resulting in bacterial cell death. Its ability to target resistant organisms makes it a crucial antibiotic in treating infections such as septicemia, endocarditis, bone and joint infections, and lower respiratory tract infections.
The 1-gram dose is supplied in Add-Vantage vials, compatible with specific IV systems for accurate and efficient preparation. Vancomycin is generally well-tolerated, but side effects such as nephrotoxicity, ototoxicity, and infusion reactions, including "red man syndrome," may occur. Monitoring renal function and serum drug levels during therapy is essential to minimize risks and optimize therapeutic outcomes.
