About ZYVOXAM

ZYVOXAM is a prescription antibiotic medication containing the active ingredient Linezolid. It is used to treat various bacterial infections, including pneumonia, skin infections, and infections of the lungs and blood.

Key Benefits & Uses

• Treatment of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) caused by susceptible strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, or Haemophilus influenzae.
• Treatment of complicated skin and skin structure infections (cSSSI) caused by susceptible strains of Staphylococcus aureus, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), or Streptococcus pyogenes.
• Treatment of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE) infections.

Active Ingredient & Action

Linezolid, the active ingredient in ZYVOXAM, is an oxazolidinone antibiotic that works by inhibiting protein synthesis in bacteria. It binds to the 50S ribosomal subunit, preventing the formation of the initiation complex and thereby inhibiting the translation of mRNA into protein.

Important Notes

ZYVOXAM should be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional and only for the treatment of infections caused by susceptible strains of bacteria. It is essential to complete the full course of treatment as prescribed to ensure the infection is fully cleared. Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and headache.
