[CARPA] CARPA Digest, Vol 28, Issue 1 - Vancocin capsules

[Malcolm McDonald]

It is important to emphasise that vancomycin capsules are NEVER to be
used for treating staphylococcal infection - vancomycin is not absorbed
from the gut. Vancomycin capsules are reserved for third-line treatment
of Clostridium difficile diarrhoea following consultation with an
infectious diseases specialist. 

Vancomycin capsules should not be made available in remote communities.
