How to Order:
Vancomycin HCL Injection is used to treat severe bacterial infections, such as infections of the blood, bone, skin, and lungs. It is an antibiotic that works by stopping the growth of bacteria. It is commonly used for infections caused by staphylococci and streptococci, including methicillin-resistant strains. It may also be used to prevent infections before and after certain surgeries. Vancomycin HCL Injection is only available with a doctor's prescription and is typically administered in a hospital or health care facility.
Vancomycin HCL Injection 500 mg USP is a type of antibiotic medication manufactured by the company Slate Run Pharmaceuticals. It belongs to a class of antibiotics called glycopeptides and is used to treat bacterial infections that are resistant to other types of antibiotics. The injection is typically administered through a vein and is commonly used to treat serious infections like meningitis and pneumonia. As with any medication, it is important to follow the instructions of your healthcare provider and report any side effects or concerns while taking Vancomycin HCL Injection.
Vancomycin HCL Injection works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. It does this by binding to a particular molecule called D-Ala-D-Ala, which is essential for the formation of bacterial cell walls. By binding to D-Ala-D-Ala, vancomycin prevents the cross-linking of cell wall units and weakens the bacterial cell wall, ultimately leading to cell death.
Vancomycin is a bactericidal antibiotic, meaning it kills bacteria rather than just inhibiting their growth. It is most effective against gram-positive bacteria, which have a thick cell wall that is particularly vulnerable to vancomycin's mechanism of action. This includes bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus (including MRSA), Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Enterococcus species.
Vancomycin can be administered intravenously or orally, although it is only available in injectable form as Vancomycin HCL Injection. It is often used as a last resort antibiotic for severe or drug-resistant infections, and should only be used under the supervision of a healthcare professional.
