Q: What is the optimum way of drawing Vancomycin trough level?


Answer: 

Usually Vancomycin peak is not required, and Vancomycin trough is recommended.

Vancomycin trough should be drawn when steady state is achieved, ideally less than 30 minutes before fourth dose.

1 ml of blood is sufficient for draw in vacutainer red top.
