Description
Linezolid Product Overview
Linezolid (C16H20FN3O4) is a white to off-white crystalline powder that is slightly soluble in water. It blocks bacterial protein synthesis in a unique way and is active against resistant Gram-positive bacteria, including MRSA and vancomycin-resistant enterococci.
In addition, pharmaceutical companies use it in 600 mg film-coated tablets, granules for oral suspension and infusion solutions for serious skin and lung infections, and in regimens for drug-resistant tuberculosis. It is on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines as a reserve antibiotic. Because it is almost completely absorbed orally, tablets can replace infusions. Related antibiotics in our range include Vancomycin Hydrochloride, Teicoplanin and Daptomycin.
Notably, Zyntex supplies linezolid from qualified API producers, only to licensed pharmaceutical companies; its synthesis uses Morpholine as a building block.
