Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including: http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2015/206473s000lbl.pdf https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/drugInfo.cfm?setid=cc3e3ea4-50aa-49ee-a8bc-fb48bfc8e014

Linezolid is an antibiotic used for the treatment of infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria that are resistant to other antibiotics. Linezolid appears to be unique in that it blocks the initiation of protein production. Most common adverse reactions include diarrhea, vomiting, headache, nausea, and anemia. Linezolid has the potential for interaction with adrenergic and serotonergic agents. And with monoamine oxidase inhibitors because it’s nonselective inhibitor of monoamine oxidase.

Originator

Curator's Comment: Linezolid was discovered in the 1990s by a team at Pharmacia and Upjohn Company. http://www.google.com/patents/US5688792
