PR VANCOMYCIN HYDROCHLORIDE FOR INJECTION
ANTIBIOTIC
ACTIONS
The inhibition
of cell wall synthesis has been shown by _ in vitro_ studies to be
responsible for the
bactericidal action of vancomycin against many gram-positive bacteria.
There is also evidence
that RNA synthesis is selectively inhibited
and the permeability of the cell membrane is altered by
vancomycin.
INDICATIONS AND CLINICAL USE
Vancomycin Hydrochloride
for Injection is indicated in the therapy of severe or
life-threatening
staphylococcal infections in patients who cannot receive or have
failed to respond to the
penicillins or cephalosporins,
or who have infections with staphylococci resistant to other
antibiotics,
including methicillin.
To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the
effectiveness of
Vancomycin Hydrochloride
for Injection and other antibacterial drugs, Vancomycin
Hydrochloride for Injection should be used only to treat infections
that are proven or strongly
suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria. When culture and
susceptibility
information
are
available, they should be considered in selecting or modifying
antibacterial therapy. In the
absence of such data, local epidemiology and susceptibility patterns
may contribute to the empiric
selection of therapy.
In the treatment of staphylococcal endocarditis, vancomycin has been
used successfully alone.
In other infections due to staphylococci, including
osteomyelitis,
pneumonia,
septicemia and soft-
tissue infections, vancomycin's effectiveness has been documented.
