Zyvoxam (Linezolid) is an antibiotic medicine. It is used to treat the following bacterial infections in adults: abdomen infections, skin infections, infections of system that carries urine out of body, lung infections (pneumonia). Antibacterial drugs like Zyvoxam treat only bacterial infections. They do not treat viral infections. Although you may feel better early in treatment, Zyvoxam should be used exactly as directed. Misuse or overuse of Zyvoxam could lead to the growth of bacteria that will not be killed by Zyvoxam (resistance). This means that Zyvoxam may not work for you in the future. Zyvoxam belongs to the class of medicines called oxazolidinones antibiotics. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria responsible for your infection.

Your healthcare professional will give Zyvoxam (injection) by intravenous infusion (slow drip through a needle (into a large vein) over a period of 30 to 120 minutes. Zyvoxam is not normally used in children and teenagers under 18 years old. If you develop severe diarrhea during or over 2 months after treatment with Zyvoxam, call your healthcare professional immediately.
