My mother is on 'Vancomycin' drip every 48 hours. It MUST run for at least 120 min. every time.

Vancomycin can be a nephrotoxic antibiotic it usually comes in a 250ml bag so to run it at 125ml/hr is normal. The max rate that an IV is run is generally 150ml/hr, unless they are in acute renal failure is a diuretic faze.
