What Experts Say

Linezolid blocks bacteria from making the proteins they need to grow, which helps clear infections that resist other antibiotics.

It is often chosen for infections caused by resistant bacteria like MRSA, and treatment is usually given for a set number of days in hospital.

Because it can affect blood cell counts, regular blood tests are needed during longer courses of treatment.

Drug Interactions

• Decongestants like pseudoephedrine: Can raise blood pressure when combined.
• Tyramine rich foods: Aged cheese and cured meats can trigger a blood pressure spike.
