About Leenzo-D Dry Syrup

Leenzo-D Dry Syrup is used to treat bacterial infections of the lungs (pneumonia), skin and soft tissues. It is also used to treat infections that are resistant to other antibiotics, such as vancomycin-resistant enterococcal infections. Bacterial infections are caused by the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body.

Leenzo-D Dry Syrup contains Linezolid, which inhibits bacterial protein synthesis, thereby killing the bacteria.

You may experience common side effects, such as headache, a metallic taste, diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, constipation, and indigestion. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention. However, talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Do not take Leenzo-D Dry Syrup on your own, as it may lead to antibiotic resistance, in which antibiotics fail to act against specific bacterial infections. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant before taking Leenzo-D Dry Syrup.

FAQs

Leenzo-D Dry Syrup is an antibiotic medication used to treat bacterial infections of the skin and lungs (pneumonia). It is also used to treat infections that are resistant to other antibiotics, such as vancomycin-resistant enterococcal infections.

Leenzo-D Dry Syrup contains Linezolid (an antibiotic), which works by stopping the bacteria from making proteins necessary for their growth and multiplication, ultimately killing the bacteria. Thus, it helps treat the bacterial infection.

Diarrhoea might be a side effect of Leenzo-D Dry Syrup. Drink lots of fluids and eat non-spicy food if you experience diarrhoea. If you find blood in stools (tarry stools) or if you have prolonged diarrhoea with abdominal pain, stop taking Leenzo-D Dry Syrup and consult your doctor. Do not take anti-diarrheal medicine on your own.

It is recommended to complete the course of Leenzo-D Dry Syrup even if you feel better, as it is an antibiotic, and leaving it in between may lead to even more severe infection. To treat your condition effectively, continue taking Leenzo-D Dry Syrup for as long as your doctor has prescribed it.

Leenzo-D Dry Syrup may cause thrush or candidiasis, which is a fungal infection occurring due to the overgrowth of yeast-like fungus in the mouth or throat. Regularly rinse your mouth with water to prevent the growth of fungus.

Do not take Leenzo-D Dry Syrup on your own, as self-medication may lead to antibiotic resistance, in which antibiotics fail to act against specific bacterial infections.

Leenzo-D Dry Syrup may affect certain laboratory test results, such as blood tests, blood sugar tests, and liver and kidney function tests. Inform the person doing the tests that you are taking Leenzo-D Dry Syrup.

Leenzo-D Dry Syrup may cause anaemia due to a decrease in the number of red blood cells. This could also cause unexplained bleeding or bruising. Consult your doctor if you experience unexplained bleeding or bruising.

Consult your doctor before taking Leenzo-D Dry Syrup if you have hypertension (high blood pressure), as it may cause an increase in blood pressure.

You should avoid taking large quantities of food that contains high tyramine. Foods that are fermented, cured, aged or spoiled contain a high amount of tyramine, e.g. cheese, red wine, pickles, overripe fruits, etc. Consuming tyramine while taking Linezolid can result in an elevation of blood pressure, which may result in an emergency.

You should take it twice a day, every 12 hours, for example, at 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. You can take it before, with, or after food. Your doctor or clinician will determine the duration of the treatment course.

Leenzo-D Dry Syrup is indicated for the treatment of gram-positive infections and is approved for treating skin and skin structure infections, bacterial pneumonia, and vancomycin-resistant enterococcal (VRE) infections, including those complicated by bacteremia.

It is usually taken with or without food or as directed by the doctor.

Common side effects of Leenzo-D Dry Syrup may include thrush (fungal infection), headache, metallic taste, diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, constipation, and indigestion. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Please consult your doctor. Leenzo-D Dry Syrup should be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding only if needed, and the benefit outweighs the risk to the fetus.

Avoid consuming alcohol while taking Leenzo-D Dry Syrup, as it may cause increased dizziness.

Take the missed dose as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for your next dose. In this case, skip the missed dose and take your next dose at the regular time. Never take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
