Vanlid 250 mg Capsule contains vancomycin (250 mg), which acts on your body in the following ways:

• Binds to Bacterial Cell Wall Precursors: Vancomycin attaches itself to the building blocks that bacteria use to construct their cell walls.
• Inhibits Cell Wall Synthesis: By binding to these precursors, vancomycin prevents them from being incorporated into the bacterial cell wall.
• Causes Bacterial Death: As a result of this inhibition, the bacterial cell wall becomes weakened and eventually leads to the death of the bacteria.

• Store Vanlid 250 mg Capsule at a temperature between 20°C and 25°C.
• Keep it away from excessive light and moisture.
• Always keep this medicine out of the reach of children.
• Make sure to use it before its expiry date.

• Maintain good hydration: Since Vanlid 250 mg Capsule is used to manage diarrhoea caused by Clostridioides difficile, keeping your body well hydrated is crucial. This helps replenish the fluids lost due to diarrhoea.
• Regular Handwashing: Frequent handwashing can help prevent the spread of bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus that cause infections managed by Vanlid 250 mg Capsule. Use soap and clean running water for at least 20 seconds.
