I’m currently working at a hospital and have been here for a couple of months. I don’t have residency experience or previous hospital experience so there’s a lot I feel like I don’t know. One of these things is everything about antibiotics. I started looking through my NAPLEX book but I feel like i
Rivaroxaban (Xarelto) and Linezolid (Zyvox) have the same core oxazolidinone ring structure but one is an anticoagulant while another is a antibiotic.
Anyone actually try to stop tapentadol when giving linezolid? I usually don’t bother because it’s a weak MAOI but interested to hear thoughts
I've read that you can restart therapy 24 hours after the last dose of Zyvox, and the half life of Lexapro is about 22-36 hours, but we have a fellow prescriber who routinely takes patients off of SSRIs cold turkey to begin linezolid - I have no evidence that says this is safe or recommended.
There seems to be a lot of conflicting information on this. Would it be appropriate to have someone on linezolid 600mg and percocet 5/325 at the same time?
Any ID experts here? Saw a patient taking linezolid + vancomycin for enterococcus bacteremia. ID doctor insists there are literatures about them but I can't find any. Just wanna know if any of you guys heard of it or seen any literatures about it.
How many of you are crushing linezolid tablets for feeding tube administration? We're having a rousing debate at my hospital, so seeking second opinions.
