About Lizolite 600Mg Tab

Lizolite 600Mg Tab 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.

Lizolite 600Mg Tab 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 Lizolite 600Mg Tab 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 Lizolite 600Mg Tab .
