Vanogut Capsule 250 mg contains Vancomycin Hydrochloride, a glycopeptide antibiotic used for the treatment of serious bacterial infections caused mainly by gram-positive organisms. It is commonly used in hospital settings, especially for resistant infections and intestinal infections such as Clostridioides difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD). It works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to bacterial cell death.
