What is Zyvox and why is it used?

Zyvox is a formidable weapon in the fight against serious diseases, and where others fail, the product’s active ingredient, linezolid, which works against Gram-positive and some Gram-negative aerobic bacteria, will save the day.

It is effective in the treatment of inpatient and outpatient pneumonia, some urinary tract infections, skin infections, and may even help with some complications of diabetes mellitus.

Indications for use of Zyvox

The product is indicated for the treatment of infections caused by sensitive strains of Gram-positive anaerobic or aerobic microorganisms accompanied by bacteraemia. Such conditions include:

• Nosocomial (hospital-acquired) pneumonia (pneumonia that develops 48-72 hours after hospital admission and was not present or incubating prior to admission);
• non-hospital-acquired pneumonia (occurs when the infection occurs in an out-of-hospital setting or later than 4 weeks after hospital discharge or when the disease develops in the first 48 hours of hospitalisation)
• complicated infections of the skin and its structures, in particular diabetic foot infections (one of the severe complications of diabetes, pathological changes in the feet in the form of ulcers, bone and joint lesions, loss of skin sensation) without accompanying osteomyelitis (inflammatory bone-destroying disease caused by bacteria, mycobacteria or fungi)
• uncomplicated infections of the skin and its structures (boils, scabies, erysipeloid);
• enterococcal infections (endocarditis, urinary tract infections, prostatitis, intra-abdominal infections).

Contraindications To The Use Of Zyvox

There are clearly defined contraindications to the use of Zyvox. One of the most serious contraindications is allergy to the active substance linezolid or to other excipients.

It should also be remembered that Zyvox should not be taken simultaneously with phenelzine and isocarboxazid.
