Common antibiotics that can be administered via a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) line include vancomycin, piperacillin-tazobactam, ceftriaxone, and meropenem. The choice of antibiotic depends on the infection being treated and the patient's specific needs. It's essential to ensure that the selected antibiotics are compatible with the PICC line and to monitor for any potential adverse reactions. Always consult with a healthcare professional for specific recommendations tailored to the patient's condition.
