I have Vancomycin HCL 250mg and Clindamycin HCL 300mg, left over, before I deposit them at the Drug store, wanted to check.

Never heard of them. Anytime you try to use a medication not packaged for fish, be sure to research the correct dosage and be sure the product is not a mixture of several different medications, Sometimes the translation can be an obstacle

Neither of these ABX show up in any of my formularies. I’d just have them properly disposed of.

If you don't even know if they have use at all, properly dispose of them. Don't just flush em and promote antibiotic resistant bacteria.
