I've been prescribed Vancomycin 1.5gm/300ml Inj to combat a severe bacterial infection. This antibiotic is a bit intimidating due to its severe side effects. I've been reading up on it, and it seems like it can really do a number on your kidneys and skin. Has anyone else had experience with this? What side effects did you encounter, and how did you manage them? Any tips for dealing with the potential risks? I'm particularly worried about needing dialysis or developing Stevens-Johnson syndrome. What can I expect from this treatment?
