Red man syndrome, often a reaction to the antibiotic vancomycin, typically lasts anywhere from a few minutes to several hours after the infusion begins. Symptoms may subside quickly once the infusion is slowed or stopped and antihistamines are administered. In most cases, the reaction is not life-threatening and resolves without long-term effects. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, medical attention should be sought.
