User Comments about Vancomycin Hydrochloride

28 Oct 2011

Vancomycin is a very powerful drug and is very effective in treating bactial infections. My condition is a antibiotic resistant bactial infection. I would recommend Vancomycin but only if other antibiotics will not work for your treatment need. As I stated it does work really well and should only be given in situations that are more major then normal. Reducing the use of antibiotics when not need is the only way to control resistants to them.
