No. Myacins are macrolides, Vancomyacin is classified as a miscellaneous antibiotic.
Vancomycin
No, erythromycin and vancomycin are not in the same drug family. Erythromycin is a macrolide antibiotic, while vancomycin is a glycopeptide antibiotic. They have different mechanisms of action and are used to treat different types of bacterial infections.

yes, they belong to different classes of drugs
Streptomycin is an antibiotic drug. A mycinrefers to the particular family of antibiotics that includes Streptomycin antibiotics.
vancomycin before its was 'reformulated' due to its nephrotoxic side effect
No, not all of them.Actinomycin is a polypeptide antibiotic and has a -mycin suffixErythomycin and Azithromycin are macrolide antibiotics and have a -mycin suffixRifamycins are not aminoglycosides and have a -mycin suffixVancomycin is a glycopeptide antibiotic and has a -mycin suffixMost probably, the suffix -mycin comes form the genus of bacteria from which those drugs were isolated (some modified after isolation); Streptomyces
Yes it is by prescription only. Both the oral and intravenous(IV form).
Vancomycin peak is the highest blood concentration of vancomycin reached after a dose, usually measured about 1 hour after completing an infusion. Vancomycin trough is the lowest blood concentration of vancomycin just before the next dose, typically measured right before the next dose is due. Monitoring these levels helps ensure the drug is within the safe and effective therapeutic range.
I have been advised by my GP that it is possible to consume some alcohol while taking By-Mycin, but only if the drug is taken in the morning and the alcohol consumed in the evening. I believe that By-Mycin is an antibiotic and, as with most antibiotics, would have it's ability to perform impaired by the consumption of alcohol. Taking the drug in the morning and alcohol in the evening would give the drugs a reasonable time to have been consumed and circulated by the body before being affected by the alcohol. It is not recommended to take By-Mycin in the evening anyway, so this should fit in nicely with the consumption of alcohol (unless you are an alcoholic).
Vancomycin should not be refrigerated, as this can cause precipitation or crystallization of the drug in solution. It is typically stored at room temperature, away from light, to maintain its stability and efficacy. Always refer to specific storage guidelines provided by the manufacturer or pharmacy for the best practices regarding vancomycin storage.
