Vanco side effects

Postby Bel61 » Fri Apr 06, 2018 3:26 pm

I am not sure if this is in the right forum or not and apologize if not. I would like to hear from others about any side effects while on Vanco. I have been on vanco since mid February with an attempt at a taper that brought on severe symptoms. Was bumped back up to 4 x125mg per day and have been on that dose since second week in march. Was feeling better and tolerating the melds fairly well until 8 days ago when I started having looser stools 2-4 times per day and more cramping, nausea, and pain. It has escalated since then and has gradually become worse and more severe. I now have had 12 movements since 2am this morning with cramping and intestinal and lower back pain.Also am urinating very often so am watching for dehydration. Has anyone else had this type of reaction to vanco?

So sorry to hear you are having such a rough time.
I am just coming off of Vanco and had very loose stool, cramping the whole time I was on it.

I’m going off Vanco after a failed Flagyl and my stools are fairly formed but I am going ten times a day. I’m not having WD so I don’t know what to make of this either. So frustrating. I already have my Dificid if I fail this. Ugh.
