No I live here in the USA. My insurance wouldn't cover the cost for Dificid until I had tried a less expensive drug..... either Flagyl or Vanco. I did the Vanco pulse and taper for 5 or 6 weeks and a couple weeks after finishing it, the Cdiff returned for a 4th time. I was a wreck. I kept wondering what I was doing wrong and why couldn't I get rid of it. I cleaned our home from top to bottom and even tossed out a pillow. I had wipes and bleach in every bathroom. It was 8 months that I wouldn't wish on anyone.
