You must find a pharmacy that can formulate vancomycin to take orally as a liquid. Cost for 14 day 1oz doses 4 times a day should be about 25.00. Try a hospital pharmacy. The drug works!

My Dr. prescribed this med for a 2nd bout of C Diff Colitis. A 7 day prescription, after insurance, was $1200.00. Are you serious? Needless to say I am not on this medication and instead I am on the god-awful Flagyl, 1500 milligrams for 10 days with a cost of $7.47. Go Figure!!!

After fighting with the company administering my prescription plan, they agreed to cover it but I still had to pay the copay of $536. My wrist and hand turned red and began to swell after the 2nd day on vanco. It continued to swell with a lot of pain & I still had diarrhea!! Dr. had me stop for ... Show Full Comment

My wrist and hand turned red and began to swell after the 2nd day on vanco. It continued to swell with a lot of pain & I still had diarrhea!! Dr. had me stop for 3 days -it took that long for my hand to return to normal - am finishing up a round of flagyl (which costs me 62 cents). I am praying this works as I am still not 100 percent. I'm not sure what I'll do if it doesnt work. Cdiff is horrible!
