I know this is way more thna you asked but as I read your post I realized I didn't know either so I found this off mobile epocrates. This is for PEDS though. Note that it says only cyanotic heart conditions, so you are correct in saying VSD does not require prophylaxis.
The only difference I noticed in the adult tab was that the regimen is amoxicillin 2000mg.
