About Lizoforce Dry Syrup
Lizoforce Dry Syrup is 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. Bacterial infections are caused by the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body. Lizoforce Dry Syrup does not work against infections caused by the virus, including cold and flu.
Lizoforce Dry Syrup contains Linezolid, which works by inhibiting the bacteria's ability to produce proteins necessary for their growth and multiplication, ultimately killing the bacteria. Thus, it helps treat the bacterial infection.
In some cases, you may experience common side effects, such as thrush (a fungal infection), headache, a 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.
Do not take Lizoforce Dry Syrup on your own, as self-medication 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 Lizoforce Dry Syrup. Lizoforce Dry Syrup passes into breastmilk, so do not take Lizoforce Dry Syrup if you are breastfeeding. Lizoforce Dry Syrup may cause dizziness and vision problems; therefore, exercise caution when driving and operating machinery. Avoid alcohol consumption while taking Lizoforce Dry Syrup, as it may cause increased dizziness.
