LINEZOLID belongs to the class of medicines called oxazolidinones used to treat bacterial infections of the lungs (pneumonia), and skin. It is also used to treat infections which are resistant to other antibiotics. LINEZOLID contains Linezolid which works by stopping the growth of infection-causing bacteria. Thereby treats the infection.
In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as thrush (fungal infection), headache, metallic taste, diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, constipation, indigestion and localized pain. Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.
Do not take LINEZOLID on your own as self-medication may lead to antibiotic-resistance in which antibiotics fail to act against specific bacterial infections. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or planning for pregnancy. LINEZOLID passes into breastmilk, so do not take LINEZOLID if you are breastfeeding. Avoid alcohol consumption while taking LINEZOLID as it may cause increased dizziness. LINEZOLID may cause dizziness and vision problems, so be cautious while driving and operating machinery.
