goldicedance Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 I took vancomycin in tablet form when I had c-difficle (GI infection). It is a strong and expensive antibiotic. I was also put on the IV form during various surgeries and had no problem. If you have concerns, I suggst that you speak with your doctor. I am not sure how useful our information is since we are all different. Good luck on Friday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenn202 Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 I was supposed to gp pn Vanco years ago for Lyme, but decided against it b.c I felt there were other abx options to try first.I know vanco is a strong abx, and usually a last resort abx if all else fails.Obviously your Dr knows why you need to be on it, so I would go with what he says.The best advise I can offer you is to take lots of a good brand acidphillus like Flora Source, or Natren Products... or if you cant get these any from the health food store.Make sure to keep the good bacteria in your gut.I hope everything goes well for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
