Description
What Linezolid Sandoz 600 mg is and what it is used for
Linezolid Sandoz 600 mg is an antibiotic that contains the active substance linezolid and is effective against bacterial infectious diseases with certain germs. Linezolid Sandoz 600 mg may only be used if prescribed by a doctor to treat severe, hospital-acquired pneumonia and complicated skin infections and soft tissue infections when other antibiotics are ineffective against these germs.
Prescriptened by your doctor.
What precautions should be taken?
This medicine has been prescribed for you by your doctor to treat your current illness.
The antibiotic in Linezolid Sandoz 600 mg is not effective against all microorganisms that cause infectious diseases. The use of an incorrectly chosen or incorrectly dosed antibiotic can cause complications. Therefore, never use it on your own to treat other diseases or other people.
When not to take Linezolid Sandoz 600 mg?
If you have a known or suspected hypersensitivity (allergy) to any of the ingredients of Linezolid Sandoz 600 mg.
When is caution needed when taking Linezolid Sandoz 600 mg?
Linezolid Sandoz 600 mg can interact with numerous medicines, e.g. antidepressants, certain heart and asthma medicines, certain medicines for colds or coughs (e.g. with the active ingredients pseudoephedrine, phenylpropanolamine), appetite suppressants, medicines containing rifampicin, certain migraine medicines (so-called triptans), Painkillers (e.g. with the active ingredients pethidine, tramadol, buprenorphine), anxiolytic drugs with the active ingredient buspirone, adrenaline, noradrenaline and dopamine-containing drugs and anti-Parkinson drugs with the active ingredient selegiline. This can result in a life-threatening situation known as serotonin syndrome (severe changes in brain, muscle and digestive tract function due to high levels of serotonin in the body; see «What side effects can Linezolid Sandoz have?»). Therefore, inform your doctor or pharmacist about all medicines that you are taking.
If you are taking a contraceptive ("the pill"), be aware that its effectiveness may be reduced during antibiotic therapy. Your doctor or pharmacist can therefore recommend further contraceptive measures.
Serious skin reactions, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome, and toxic epidermal necrolysis have been reported with the use of Linezolid Sandoz 600 mg. These are often preceded by fever and/or flu-like symptoms.
Discontinue Linezolid Sandoz immediately at the first signs of inflammatory skin changes and allergic reactions (e.g. reddening of the skin, skin rash with blistering, swelling of the face, skin or mucous membranes, asthma, shortness of breath, circulatory problems) and inform your doctor immediately.
If diarrhea occurs during or after treatment with Linezolid Sandoz 600 mg, especially if it is severe, prolonged and/or bloody, this may indicate an infection with the pathogen Clostridium difficile. If you suspect such a complication, you must stop treatment with Linezolid Sandoz immediately and contact your doctor for advice. If you have diarrhea, you should not take any medication that slows down intestinal peristalsis (intestinal movements).
Linezolid Sandoz 600 mg may be incompatible with certain food components. Therefore, avoid consuming too much mature cheese, yeast extracts, soy products (e.g. soy sauce) or alcoholic beverages. If you have a pounding headache after eating, tell your doctor or pharmacist.
If you suffer from uncontrolled high blood pressure, blood pressure crises as a result of a tumor (such as pheochromocytoma or carcinoid), an overactive thyroid gland, certain mental illnesses (such as depression, bipolar psychosis or confusion), you should only take Linezolid Sandoz 600 mg if possible for precise observation and control of blood pressure.
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you suffer from epilepsy or if you have had epileptic fits in the past. Please also inform these people if your kidney or liver function is severely restricted.
Also tell your doctor or pharmacist if you feel sick/unwell accompanied by muscle weakness, seizures, headaches or confusion. These may be signs of hyponatraemia (low levels of sodium in the blood) which may be associated with taking Linezolid Sandoz.
This medicine can impair the ability to react, the ability to drive and the ability to use tools or machines (see «What side effects can Linezolid Sandoz 600 mg have?»).

Children and young people under the age of 18
