<p>3 ml water for injection should be added slowly down the side wall of the vial of Teicoplanin&nbsp;200 mg or 400 mg. The vial should be rolled gently between the palms until the powder is completely dissolved. During the rolling, we have to be cautious about the solution that it does not become foamy. The solution must not be shaken. If foam formed then it should be allowed to stand for 15 minutes for the foam to be subsided. The entire contents from the vial should be withdrawn slowly into a syringe.</p>
