I was just prescribed Vancomycin 25mg/ml Oral Soln for a severe case of C. difficile. I know it's an antibiotic that works locally in the gut, but I'm curious about other people's experiences and knowledge around this medication. I've read about some pretty nasty side effects, including hearing loss and severe skin reactions. If anyone has any insights or advice, I'd really appreciate it. Also, does anyone know how long it typically takes to see improvements? The thought of taking this for a while is pretty daunting.
