What is the concentration of fortified vancomycin?

4 min read
Fortified vancomycin is a compounded ophthalmic solution, with concentrations of 25 to 50 mg/mL commonly used to treat severe bacterial keratitis. This potent preparation is necessary because commercially available eye drops often lack the high concentration required to effectively treat serious eye infections. The specific concentration chosen depends on the severity of the infection and patient tolerance.
