A member asked:
One dr said vancomycin capsules for cdiff don't cause hearing/ pain in ear because it's not absorbed in system. why does the pharmacy sheet say it can?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Clostridium dificile: Oral vancomycin is essentially the same product as what the administer IV so the drug fact sheet refers to this. You doctor is exactly right, its not absorbed and does not cause any hearing issues or ear pain.
