An inexperienced Dr reading about vanco from a text book MIGHT just read it as an IV antibiotic administered in a hospital.
If a Dr prescribes vanco for oral use its readily available in pill form from almost any Canadian pharmacy (expensive though)
A Dr can also prescribe liquid vanco made by mixing the powder in the vials of IV Vanco with a suitable liquid, its the same med and much cheaper.
That Dr's wrong, try another Dr.

I know this thread is a couple of months old but my query is on the same subject: since having a cystoscopy and bladder biopsy a month ago I have had nothing but trouble with pain, frequency and a crazy itching feeling in my bladder. All tests are negative but I’m certain something is up. Please can someone clarify if Hiprex is an antiseptic, rather than an antibiotic? Obviously my fear is that I might cause myself another relapse — but I am wondering if trying this stuff might be a good solution.

Thanks comrades!
