In the treatment of skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) caused by Gram-positive bacteria, linezolid was found to be more effective than glycopeptide antibiotics (such as vancomycin and teicoplanin) and beta-lactam antibiotics in a large meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials.
Linezolid belongs to the class of medication called MAO inhibitors. This will increase the level of certain natural substances in the body that can increase the chance of various side effects and drug interactions.
Some of the common side effects of Linezolid are diarrhea, headache, nausea, vomiting and stomach pain.
Linezolid is available as a tablet and an oral suspension (liquid) for oral administration. It's normally taken twice a day (every 12 hours) for 10 to 28 days, with or without food. Children who are 11 years of age or younger usually take the medication with or without food 2 to 3 times a day, at least for 10 to 28 days.
Due to a lack of effective oral therapy options, urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by vancomycin-resistant enterococcus (VRE) are difficult to handle. Linezolid is a VRE-fighting antibiotic that can be taken orally, but only about 30% of each dose is excreted in the urine.
