• Dalbonova 500 Injection is given to you by a doctor or nurse.
• It is given through a drip directly into a vein, over a short infusion.
• Your doctor decides whether it is given as a single infusion or as two infusions a week apart.
• In children and infants the dose is calculated by the doctor from the child's age and weight.
• If you have long-standing kidney problems, your doctor may decide to reduce the dose.
• Tell your doctor or nurse immediately if you think you have been given too much, or if you are worried about missing a second infusion.

• Dalbonova 500 Injection is a hospital-administered medicine, so the pharmacy handles its storage, preparation and disposal.
• Keep it out of the sight and reach of children.
• Do not use it after the expiry date stated on the vial.
• Do not throw away medicines with household waste or down the drain. The hospital disposes of any unused product.

• Inform your doctor immediately, if you get diarrhoea during or after treatment, and do not take any medicine for it yourself. Diarrhoea after an antibiotic can be due to a bowel infection that anti-diarrhoeal medicines would make worse.
• Inform your team immediatley if you develop any infusion reactions like if you feel flushed, itchy or develop a rash.
• Inform your doctor about any past reaction to vancomycin or teicoplanin before treatment starts.
• Tell your doctor if you have kidney problems, as the dose may need to be lowered.
• Take care driving after the infusion until you know how the medicine affects you, as it can cause dizziness.
• Finish the planned course. Stopping an antibiotic early can leave the infection incompletely treated.

• Dalbonova 500 Injection is given into a vein by a healthcare professional, so interactions with food do not occur.
