Product Description

LeZolid 600 contains Linezolid, a powerful synthetic antibiotic from the oxazolidinone class, designed to treat severe bacterial infections caused by gram-positive organisms. It works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, stopping bacterial growth and ensuring effective infection control.

This antibiotic is particularly beneficial for treating drug-resistant infections such as MRSA (Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus) and VRE (Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus).

• Complicated Skin & Soft Tissue Infections – Cellulitis, abscesses, diabetic foot infections.
