Red man syndrome, vancomycin side effects, vancomycin allergic reaction, pharmacology made easy

• Red man syndrome (RMS) is the most common allergic reaction to vancomycin. It generally occurs during rapid infusion of vancomycin. Although red man syndrome is known to be a rapidly infusion-related reaction, it may also occur when vancomycin is infused in a slow rate.
• Signs of red man syndrome would appear about 4-10 min after an infusion started or may begin soon after its completion. It is often associated with rapid (less than 1 hour) infusion of the first dose of vancomycin. Symptoms of red man syndrome typically consist of pruritus, an erythematous rash that involves the face, neck, and upper torso. Less frequently, hypotension and angioedema can occur. In severe cases, patients complain of chest pain and dyspnea.
• Treatment & management of red man syndrome: Studies have shown that vancomycin is much better tolerated when it is given in smaller and more frequent doses. In clinical situations where prolonged infusion times are often impractical, as in the intensive care unit or an operative setting, especially ambulatory orthopedic or emergency procedures, pretreatment with antihistamines combined with an H2 receptor blocker can offer protection against this infusion-related reaction with vancomycin.
