How it works

From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Linezolid). It describes the substance, not this exact product.

Linezolid is an antibacterial drug [see Microbiology ( 12.4 ) ].

How the body breaks it down

Linezolid is primarily metabolized by oxidation of the morpholine ring, which results in two inactive ring-opened carboxylic acid metabolites: the aminoethoxyacetic acid metabolite (A), and the hydroxyethyl glycine metabolite (B).

With food

The time to reach the maximum concentration is delayed from 1.5 hours to 2.2 hours and C max is decreased by about 17% when high fat food is given with linezolid.
