Pharmacology

The half life in normal individuals is 4-6 hours.[1]

Adverse effects

Thrombocytopenia

Vancomycin may cause immune thrombocytopenia.[2]

Acute kidney injury

Vancomycin is associated with acute kidney injury if trough levels are above 15 microg/mL.[3] To avoid this, the blood levels of vancomycin should be monitored.[4][5] Recommended trough levels are 15–20 mg/L.[6]
