Vancomycin Service

Intravenous vancomycin treatment requires regular monitoring of pre-dose (trough) levels. The trough level should be 5-15 mg/l.

Results will be made available on the Results reporting system as soon as they are processed n the laboratory. It is the responsibility of the doctor requesting the assay to check the result on the Results Reporting system. However, significantly abnormal results will be telephoned to the clinician by the Duty Microbiologist
