Art Of Living and Vancomycin

We checked these two against our interaction database. Here is what we found.

No Known Interaction Found

We did not find a documented interaction between Vancomycin and Art Of Living in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — there is often limited research on supplements and herbal products, especially around drug interactions.

Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Art Of Living at all — not against Vancomycin, and not against any other medication we track. This verdict therefore rests on the absence of any recorded data, not on research that looked at this combination and found nothing. We cannot rule an interaction out.

If you decide to take both, the practical routine is simple: add one new thing at a time and note the date you started it. If the combination is going to disagree with you, it usually shows in the first days to a couple of weeks — and a start date turns “I’ve been feeling off” into something a pharmacist can actually work with. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.

Always talk with your pharmacist or doctor before making changes to your medications or supplements, particularly if you take several medications or have an ongoing health condition.

Art Of Living safety at a glance

Art Of Living overall Not established This is the name of a wellness organization and its programs, not a single supplement, so there is no standard ingredient to assess.
Pregnancy Use caution Breathing and yoga practices vary in intensity, so pregnant people should check with a doctor and a qualified instructor first.
Breastfeeding Not established As a set of mind-body practices rather than an ingested product, there is no clear safety data; ask your healthcare provider.

Safety guidance is general; always confirm with your pharmacist or doctor for your situation.

What Vancomycin’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Art Of Living. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Vancomycin’s own FDA label, for the medication by itself. Knowing the drug’s own list makes it easier to work out the likely cause if something new turns up while you take both. 10 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Hearing loss Worth acting on
  • Kidney problems Worth acting on mentioned in 11.2% of FDA reports for Vancomycin
  • Low potassium Worth acting on
  • A severe skin reaction Worth acting on mentioned in 4.1% of FDA reports for Vancomycin
  • Wheezing Worth acting on
  • Chest pain Worth acting on
  • Low mood Worth acting on
  • A low platelet count Worth acting on
  • Anemia Worth acting on
  • A higher chance of infection Worth acting on mentioned in 7.1% of FDA reports for Vancomycin

Showing the 10 most notable of 33 label-listed effects — ranked by how unusual each one is across medicines generally, with serious effects weighted up.

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Vancomycin. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 64,480 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Vancomycin that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Art Of Living’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Art Of Living side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Art Of Living has no side effects.

About Art Of Living

What is Art Of Living?

  • Stress and anxiety relief
  • Relaxation and calm
  • Improved sleep
  • Emotional well-being
  • General mental wellness

"Art of Living" is not a plant, herb, or dietary supplement. It is the name of a global nonprofit organization founded by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar that teaches meditation, breathing techniques (such as Sudarshan Kriya), and yoga-based programs for stress and well-being. If you saw this name on a product label, check the actual ingredients, because there is no single herb called "Art of Living."

Breathing programs, meditation courses, group classes

An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Art Of Living is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Art Of Living record says about it on its own.

Art Of Living: dosing

There is no pill or standardized dose because Art of Living is a program, not a supplement.

About Vancomycin

What Is Vancomycin Used For?

Brand names: Vancocin, Vancoled

Vancomycin is used to fight serious bacterial infections caused by certain hard-to-treat bacteria, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). When given intravenously (by IV), it treats conditions like septicemia (a serious bloodstream infection), infective endocarditis (infection of the heart valves), skin and skin structure infections, bone infections, and lower respiratory tract infections.

When taken by mouth — as capsules or oral solution (brands include Vancocin and Firvanq) — vancomycin treats Clostridioides difficile-associated diarrhea (C. diff) and staphylococcal enterocolitis (a gut infection caused by Staphylococcus aureus). It's important to know that the oral form does not work for bloodstream or other serious infections, and the IV form does not work for C. diff or gut infections — each route has its own specific uses.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Vancomycin

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (65,520 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Acute kidney injury 4,892 reports
Fever 4,046 reports
Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms 2,695 reports
Renal failure 2,468 reports
Diarrhea 2,392 reports
