What Experts Say

Linezolid infusion belongs to the oxazolidinone class of antibiotics and stops bacteria from making the proteins they need to survive. Doctors reach for the intravenous form when a patient is critically ill, unable to swallow tablets, or has an infection serious enough to need guaranteed full absorption into the bloodstream.

The infusion is given slowly over thirty to one hundred twenty minutes through a vein, never as a rapid push, because fast administration can cause low blood pressure. It should not be mixed with certain other IV drugs in the same line, so hospital staff usually flush the line before and after the infusion to avoid any interaction.

Because linezolid IV therapy is usually reserved for serious infections, doctors monitor blood counts, blood pressure and vision closely, especially if treatment continues beyond ten to fourteen days. Once the patient's condition improves, switching to the oral tablet is common practice since linezolid is absorbed almost as completely by mouth as through a vein.
