About this active substance

Tedizolid is an oxazolidinone antibiotic used for the treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections, including those caused by bacteria resistant to other antibiotics. It works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, thereby preventing bacterial growth.

The medication is administered orally or intravenously, usually once daily, as directed by a doctor. It is important for patients to complete the full course of treatment to prevent the development of bacterial resistance.

Patients should be aware of potential side effects, such as nausea, headaches, or diarrhea. It is important to inform the doctor of any unusual symptoms.

Common side effects include nausea, headaches, diarrhea, and dizziness. In rare cases, severe reactions such as myelosuppression or allergic reactions may occur. Patients should be informed of these risks before starting treatment.
