Vancomycin Premixed Bags (VANCO READY)

I would like to alert everyone that Xellia Pharmaceuticals' premixed vanomycmycin bags (VANCO READY) have a warning to not use in 1st and 2nd trimesters of pregnancy. This is due to the excepients PEG400 and NADA used in these bags. There is a warning statement on the bag, but it may get missed. Can you share your experience with this product?
