Before taking this medicine
You should not vancomycin if you are allergic to it.
To make sure vancomycin is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have ever had:
an intestinal disorder such as inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn's disease, or ulcerative colitis;
kidney disease;
hearing problems; or
if you are receiving any intravenous (IV) antibiotics.
Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

In my opinion, and I am not a Dr., you can take it as long as it is prescribed to you by a medical professional.
