Taking other medicines: Please tell the doctor if taking or have recently taken any other medicines, including medicines obtained without a prescription. This is extremely important, as using more than one medicine at the same time can strengthen or weaken the effect of the medicines. In particular tell the doctor if taking any other antibiotics.
Taking Vancomycin with food and drink: Vancomycin can be given as an injection or taken as a solution before, with or after food.
If Vancomycin is being taken as a solution to drink, a common flavouring syrup may be added to the solution to improve the taste.
