vancomycin hydrochloride
Vancomycin hydrochloride is an antibiotic used to treat serious bacterial infections, especially those caused by bacteria resistant to other antibiotics. It works by stopping bacteria from making essential parts of their cell walls, leading to their death. It is typically administered through intravenous infusion in hospitals and is carefully monitored to avoid side effects. Vancomycin is effective against infections like severe staph infections, including MRSA, and certain types of pneumonia and bloodstream infections. Proper use ensures the infection is eradicated while minimizing potential risks.
