    This document provides information about the drug Vancomycin Hydrochloride including its dosage, mechanism of action, indications, contraindications, adverse effects, and nursing considerations. Vancomycin is an antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. It is indicated to treat serious infections caused by gram-positive bacteria including MRSA and CDAD. Common adverse effects include fever, headache, ototoxicity, and nephrotoxicity. Nurses should monitor patients for signs of the "red man syndrome" if administered intravenously too quickly and assess renal function during treatment.
