Composition (Each Film-Coated Tablet Contains):
-
Linezolid IP – 600 mg
Form: Oral Tablet
Category: Antibiotic | Oxazolidinone | MRSA & VRE Infections
Pack Size: 1×10 Tablets (customizable as per packaging)
Product Description:
LINOZEM® contains Linezolid, a synthetic antibiotic from the oxazolidinone class, indicated for the treatment of severe gram-positive bacterial infections, including those caused by multi-drug resistant organisms such as MRSA (Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus) and VRE (Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci).
With its excellent oral bioavailability, LINOZEM® is a reliable alternative to intravenous therapy, making it ideal for step-down therapy in hospitalized or outpatient settings.
Key Benefits:
-
Strong activity against resistant gram-positive organisms
-
Ideal for MRSA, VRE, nosocomial pneumonia, and skin/soft tissue infections
-
Excellent oral absorption, comparable to IV use
-
Suitable for community- and hospital-acquired infections
-
Useful as step-down therapy post IV treatment
How It Works:
Linezolid inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 23S ribosomal RNA of the 50S subunit, preventing formation of the bacterial translation initiation complex. This halts bacterial growth and replication, especially in resistant strains.
