Structure Infection
No dose adjustment is necessary when changing from intravenous to oral Tedizolid.
If patients miss a dose, they should take it as soon as possible anytime up to 8 hours prior to their next scheduled dose. If less than 8 hours remain before the next dose, wait until their next scheduled dose. Safety and effectiveness in pediatrics patients below the age of 18 have not been established.No overall differences in pharmacokinetics were observed between elderly subjects and younger subjects.
The contents of the vial should be reconstituted using aseptic technique as follows:

The contents of the vial should be reconstituted using aseptic technique as follows:
Note: To minimize foaming, avoid vigorous agitation or shaking of the vial during or after reconstitution.
1. Reconstitute the Tedizolid vial with 4 ml of normal saline from the bottle with the syringe.
2. Gently swirl the contents and let the vial stand until the cake has completely dissolved and any foam disperses.
3. Inspect the vial to ensure the solution contains no particulate matter and no cake or powder remains attached to the sides of the vial. If necessary, invert the vial to dissolve any remaining powder and swirl gently to prevent foaming. The total storage time should not exceed 24 hours at either room temperature or under refrigeration at 2°C to 8°C.
4. The reconstituted solution must be further diluted by the rest of the normal saline. Invert the bag gently to mix. Do not shake the bag as this may cause foaming.
After reconstitution and dilution, Tedizolid is to be administered via intravenous infusion using a total time of 1 hour.
Tedizolid is compatible with normal saline (0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP
Side Effects:
The most common side effects in patients treated with Tedizoild are nausea, headache, diarrhea, vomiting and dizziness.The following selected adverse reactions may be reported in Tedizolid treated patients: anemia, palpitations, tachycardia, blurred vision, visual impairment, infusion-related reactions, drug hypersensitivity, insomnia, pruritus, urticaria, dermatitis, hypertension, etc.
Precautions:
Alternative therapies should be considered when treating patients with neutropenia and acute bacterial skin and skin structure infection, Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea, and the risk of the development of drug-resistant bacteria.
Administer Tezolid IV infusion as an intravenous infusion only. The intravenous bag containing the reconstituted and diluted intravenous solution should be inspected visually for particulate matter prior to administration. After reconstitution and dilution, it is to be administered via intravenous infusion using a total time of 1 hour. The total time from reconstitution to administration should not exceed 24 hours at room temperature or under refrigeration at 2°C to 8°C.
Use in Pregnancy & Lactation:
Pregnancy Category C. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies of Tedizolid in pregnant women. Tedizolid should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. It is not known whether Tedizolid is excreted in human milk.
Interaction:
No potential drug interactions with Tedizolid were identified in vitro CYP inhibition or induction studies. No clinically significant inhibition of any transporter was observed at Tedizolid circulating plasma concentrations up to the Cmax. Tedizolid is a reversible inhibitor of monoamine oxidase in vitro.
Overdose:
Tedizolid should be discontinued and general supportive treatment given.
