Experience with oral Vanc taper/pulsing

Postby mathewb » Sun Mar 17, 2019 5:37 pm

Has anyone had experience with the oral vanc taper/pulse dose? Im thinking this is in my future and I’m seeing a specialist this week. How long is the taper/pulse dosing? Anyone have good results with it? I’ve been treated twice in the past 2 months first with flagyl and then with 10 days of oral vanc.
Thank you for any help in advance!

Vanco taper pulse worked for me! I've been CDiff free for heading for 8 months :) I was on a long regimen. You can find my success story in the success story section, it has my taper pulse schedule written in it.

I would highly recommend Dificid .
I was on Vanco for 10 days which failed, then went on a 3 month taper. That also failed. Went on 10 days of Dificid which also failed, did a taper of Dificid which worked.

If you have relapsed after Vanco at all, I would asks for Dificid.

Hope you feel better soon
