Hello
Red man syndrome, RMS is an adverse reaction to rapid infusion of vancomycin that leads to flushing/redness of face, neck and upper torso. The mechanism of this reaction is histamine release (anaphylactoid reaction).
Prevention - slow IV infusion of vancomycin over 1 hr
PS - I remember this as lots of wine causes flushing, so does v(w)ancomycin ;D
That's all
