Linezolid is an antibiotic used for the treatment of infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria that are resistant to other antibiotics
Linezolid is typically given as a 7 to 14 day course of 400 or 600 mg twice daily
The off-label experience of prolonged linezolid therapy for bone and joint infections was previously summarized in two systematic reviews, which included 272 cases treated for more than 28 days
Patients were assessed at study entry, monthly while on treatment, at the end of treatment, and 30 days following the last dose
Maximum plasma concentrations are reached within approximately 1 to 2 hours after dosing (T max) and range from 8
