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.

Composition

• Active Ingredient: Vancomycin Hydrochloride 250 mg

Indications

Vanogut Capsule is indicated for:

Vancomycin binds to D-alanyl-D-alanine terminals of bacterial cell wall precursors. This inhibits peptidoglycan synthesis, an essential component of bacterial cell walls. As a result, the cell wall weakens, leading to bacterial lysis and death.
