Took my vancomycin at 6 then at 10. it was 4 times a day so i took it 2 hours early. will i be ok? i forgot it was every 6 hours.

YesGet back on track: It's okay that you took a dose 2 hours early. Just try to do your best with sticking to the schedule from now on. Too far apart will leave you uncovered; too close together can cause unwanted side-effects. Good luck!
