Linezolid is an oxazolidinone antibiotic used to treat infections caused by Gram‑positive bacteria.

- Complicated skin and soft tissue infections: effective against MRSA and other Gram‑positive pathogens, helping resolve infection. - Nosocomial (hospital‑acquired) pneumonia: provides coverage for resistant Gram‑positive bacteria, improving pulmonary outcomes. - Community‑acquired pneumonia: treats susceptible Gram‑positive organisms, aiding recovery in adult patients.

Linezolid may cause a range of adverse reactions, which are grouped by frequency.

Common Side Effects: - Nausea - Diarrhea - Headache - Metallic taste

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Thrombocytopenia - Peripheral neuropathy - Serotonin syndrome

Use of Linezolid requires careful clinical monitoring.

- Renal impairment: monitor renal function and adjust therapy as needed. - Hepatic impairment: use with caution and observe liver enzyme levels. - Concomitant serotonergic drugs: avoid due to risk of serotonin syndrome. - Myelosuppression: perform regular complete blood‑count assessments. - Pregnancy and lactation: prescribe only when benefits outweigh potential risks. - Store at ambient temperature: keep below 25 °C, protect from moisture and light in the original container.

Linezolid can interact with several drug classes, requiring attention to avoid adverse outcomes.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and other serotonergic agents: risk of serotonin syndrome. - Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs): potential for hypertensive crisis. - Rifampicin: may significantly reduce linezolid plasma concentrations.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Warfarin: may increase INR; monitor coagulation parameters. - Phenytoin: may lower linezolid levels, reducing efficacy. - Erythromycin: may raise linezolid concentrations, increasing toxicity risk.
