Celovan 1gm Injection is also used for the prevention of infection in some high-risk patients undergoing surgical procedures. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria and is useful for treating adults as well as children. It is a narrow-spectrum antibiotic that only covers the gram-positive type of bacteria. This medicine is administered slowly by a drip (infusion) into a vein, under the supervision of a healthcare professional. A rapid infusion can lead to reactions such as low blood pressure, wheezing, shortness of breath, or itching. It may also be combined with other antibiotics to treat additional types of bacteria.
Vancomycin acts by inhibiting proper cell wall synthesis in Gram-positive bacteria.
The pharmacokinetic profile of vancomycin is complex and can be characterized by either a 2- or 3-compartment pharmacokinetic profile (figure 1) [3,4,5]. The drug is administered intravenously, with a standard infusion time of at least 1 h, to minimize infusion-related adverse effects.
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
