Summary:

Neutropenic colitis is reported as a side effect among people who take Vancomycin (vancomycin), especially for people who are male, 60+ old, have been taking the drug for < 1 month also take Valacyclovir, and have Acute myeloid leukaemia.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes which people have Neutropenic colitis when taking Vancomycin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 17,160 people who have side effects when taking Vancomycin from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
