Why Linezolid/Swollen Causes Nerve Damage

Linezolid/Swo（Linezolid)As an oxazolidinone antibiotic, it is an important drug used to treat drug-resistant bacterial infections. Its antibacterial mechanism is by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, but long-term or high-dose use may interfere with human mitochondrial function and lead to abnormal energy metabolism of nerve cells. Patients often experience numbness, tingling, or blurred vision in their hands and feet, which is related to the potential toxicity of the drug to peripheral nerves and optic nerves. Nervous system symptoms need to be monitored regularly during medication. If discomfort persists, the doctor may adjust the dose or use neurotrophic drugs in combination. In addition, avoid using it in combination with 5-hydroxytryptamine drugs to prevent neurological excitability disorders.
