Zyvox (linezolid) is an oxazolidinone antibiotic used to treat certain serious infections caused by susceptible Gram-positive bacteria.
Linezolid belongs to the oxazolidinone class of antibiotics.
Linezolid inhibits bacterial protein synthesis at an early step by preventing formation of the 70S initiation complex.

|---|---|
| Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) | + |
| Complicated skin and skin structure infections | + |
| Diabetic foot infection (without concomitant osteomyelitis) | + |
| Gonorrhea | − |
| Gram-negative infections (e.g., E. coli, Pseudomonas) | − |
| Hospital-acquired / nosocomial pneumonia (HAP) | + |
| Osteomyelitis | − |
| Pressure ulcers (decubitus ulcers) | − |
| Uncomplicated skin and skin structure infections | + |
| Urinary tract infection (UTI) | − |
| VRE (Enterococcus faecium) infection, including cases with concurrent bacteremia | + |
| Viral infections (flu/common cold) | − |
| Yeast or other fungal infections | − |
Limitations of use (US): Zyvox is not indicated for the treatment of Gram-negative infections. If a Gram-negative pathogen is suspected or confirmed, appropriate therapy should be started.
Zyvox tablets are used for certain infections caused by susceptible Gram-positive bacteria, including pneumonia (nosocomial and community-acquired), skin and skin structure infections (complicated and uncomplicated), and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE) infections, including cases with concurrent bacteremia.
Zyvox 600 mg tablets are film-coated and are not provided as a scored tablet in US labeling. For this reason, splitting or crushing is generally not recommended unless a clinician specifically instructs it.
Cost can be influenced by brand pricing, manufacturing and supply chain factors, and market conditions. Depending on the infection and culture/susceptibility results, clinicians may choose alternatives. FDA-approved generic linezolid tablets are available in the U.S. and may be lower-cost than the brand in some settings.
Zyvox may be used alone for confirmed susceptible Gram-positive infections. If an infection is mixed or a Gram-negative pathogen is suspected, clinicians may prescribe Zyvox together with other antibiotics that cover Gram-negative organisms (and, when needed, anaerobes). The exact combination depends on the site of infection, severity, and local resistance patterns.
Linezolid is a reversible, nonselective MAO inhibitor (MAOI). It can interact with adrenergic drugs (which may raise blood pressure) and serotonergic drugs (which may increase the risk of serotonin syndrome). Tell your clinician about all prescription, over-the-counter, and herbal products you use.
| Contraindication | What it means |
|---|---|
| Hypersensitivity to linezolid (or any component of the product) | Do not use if you have a known serious allergy to linezolid or product ingredients. |
| Use with MAO inhibitors (or within 2 weeks of stopping an MAOI) | Do not use with MAOIs (e.g., phenelzine, isocarboxazid, selegiline) or within 2 weeks of stopping them due to interaction risk. |
Because linezolid has MAOI activity, avoid consuming large amounts of tyramine-rich foods and beverages during treatment. Examples include aged cheeses, cured/aged or improperly stored meats, fermented foods (including some soy/yeast products), and certain alcoholic beverages (such as some beers and red wine). Seek medical help if you develop a severe headache, flushing, or a marked rise in blood pressure.
Common side effects include diarrhea, nausea/vomiting, and headache.
Important warnings and precautions include myelosuppression (including thrombocytopenia; complete blood counts are commonly monitored weekly), peripheral and optic neuropathy (reported mainly with treatment longer than 28 days), lactic acidosis, seizures, and C. difficile-associated diarrhea. Promptly report unusual bruising/bleeding, severe or persistent diarrhea, or new visual symptoms (blurred vision, changes in visual acuity or color vision).
My linezolid package just arrived. Where should I look for the lot number and expiration date?
Check the outer carton and the bottle or blister packaging for the lot number and expiration date. Keep those details with the package, especially if you need to verify the product later.
I take sertraline every day for depression. Can I take this linezolid medicine at the same time?
Linezolid can interact with sertraline because it has reversible MAO-inhibiting activity, increasing the risk of serotonin syndrome. Do not start, stop, or change either medicine on your own; the prescriber needs to determine whether another antibiotic or a supervised treatment plan is appropriate.
