When using a polyarylethersulfone, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and polyamide high-flux HD membrane with a 24R Polyflux dialyzer, vancomycin can be administered during the last hour of dialysis if the dose that is prescribed for intra-dialysis dosing is empirically increased to account for intra-dialytic drug removal.
