Linezolid Tablets

Linezolid 600 mg Tablets: Linezolid is administered to treat skin and lung bacterial infections (pneumonia). Linezolid is also administered to treat infections that are resistant to other antibiotics, like vancomycin-resistant enterococcal infections. Bacterial infections result from the growth of pathogenic bacteria within or on the body. Linezolid is ineffective in treating infections that are caused by the virus, like the common cold and flu.
Linezolid is present in Linezolid, which inhibits the capability of bacteria to make proteins essential for their growth and reproduction, killing them in the process. Therefore, it aids in the treatment of bacterial infection. In certain situations, you can develop typical side effects, including thrush (fungal infection), headache, metallic taste, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, constipation, and indigestion.
