Full Prescribing Info
Side Effects
Like all medicines, Vancomycin can have side effects, although not everybody gets them.
Vancomycin is well tolerated by most patients and side effects are usually mild and go away.
Tell the doctor and stop taking Vancomycin immediately if any of the following rare effects are experienced: Severe allergic reaction: the patient may experience a sudden itchy rash (hives), swelling of the hands, feet, ankles, face, lips, mouth or throat (which may cause difficulty in swallowing or breathing), and the patient may feel he/she is going to faint.
Other side effects include: Kidney troubles, but this is rare.
Hearing difficulty: sometimes with dizziness and ringing in the ears.
Low blood cell count: these may cause symptoms such as chills and, occasionally, bruising.
Feeling sick.
The patient is less likely to have side effects if they are given Vancomycin as a solution to drink because it usually passes through the stomach and intestines without getting into the rest of the body.
If the Vancomycin solution is too strong or if it is injected too quickly it can cause the blood pressure to drop, difficulty breathing, rashes and itchiness, flushed skin and muscle pain.
If any of the side effects gets serious, or if any side effects not listed in this monograph is noticed, please tell the doctor or pharmacist.
