Linezolid 600 mg Tablet

Linxo 600 Tablet is an antibiotic medication used primarily for the treatment of serious bacterial infections. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria.

Uses & Indications: Linxo 600 is used to treat severe bacterial infections, including:

  • Pneumonia (community-acquired or hospital-acquired)
  • Skin and Soft Tissue Infections (including diabetic foot infections)
  • Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE) Infections
  • Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Infections
  • Infections caused by Streptococcus and Staphylococcus species

It is typically employed when other antibiotics are ineffective or when bacteria are resistant to standard treatments.

Mechanism of Action: Linezolid inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the bacterial ribosome (specifically the 23S rRNA of the 50S subunit). This prevents the formation of a functional initiation complex necessary for protein synthesis, halting bacterial growth and replication, which leads to bacterial death. Linezolid is primarily a bacteriostatic agent, but can also be bactericidal against certain strains, such as Streptococcus pneumonia.
