What Experts Say

Linezolid works by stopping bacteria from making the proteins they need to grow, which makes it effective against resistant germs like MRSA.

It is usually taken every 12 hours for the full course prescribed, even if symptoms improve early, to prevent the infection from returning.

Linezolid can interact with certain antidepressants and should not be used with them, so a full medicine list should be shared with the prescribing doctor.
