Vancres 1g Injection contains Vancomycin, a glycopeptide antibiotic used to treat serious bacterial infections, including those of the heart lining and valves (endocarditis), lungs, skin, blood, and bones. It works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, effectively killing the bacteria causing the infection.

Administration:

Vancomycin is administered intravenously, typically infused over at least 60 minutes. The dosing schedule varies based on the specific infection and patient factors, commonly every 6 to 12 hours. It’s crucial to follow the healthcare provider’s instructions regarding dosage and duration.

Common Side Effects:

• Pain, redness, or swelling at the injection site
• Fever
• Nausea
• Chills

Inform your doctor if these symptoms are severe or persistent. Serious side effects may include severe diarrhea, rash, difficulty breathing, or hearing loss. Seek immediate medical attention if these occur.

Precautions:

• Disclose any allergies to vancomycin or other medications to your healthcare provider.
• Inform your doctor of any existing hearing problems or kidney disease.
• Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding should be discussed with your healthcare provider.

Vancomycin is not effective against viral infections like the common cold or flu. Using antibiotics when not needed can increase the risk of developing antibiotic-resistant infections.

Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized medical advice before starting or stopping any medication.
