About Lizolid Injection

Lizolid Injection belongs to the class of medicines called oxazolidinones used to treat bacterial infections of the lungs (pneumonia), and skin. It is also used to treat infections which are resistant to other antibiotics. Bacterial infections are caused due to the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body. Lizolid Injection does not work against infections caused by the virus, including cold and flu.

Lizolid Injection contains Linezolid. It treats infection by stopping the growth of infection-causing bacteria. 

Lizolid Injection shows some common side-effects like thrush (fungal infection), headache, metallic taste, diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, constipation, indigestion and localized pain. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to consult your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Inform your doctor before receiving this injection if you are pregnant or planning pregnancy. Lizolid Injection passes into breastmilk and can cause diarrhoea and vomiting in infants; therefore, discontinue breastfeeding prior to and throughout the treatment. Avoid alcohol consumption while taking Lizolid Injection as it may cause increased dizziness. Lizolid Injection may cause dizziness and vision problems, so drive and operate machinery only if you are alert. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and your ongoing medications to rule out any interactions.
