No effect of pyridoxine on the incidence of myelosuppression during prolonged linezolid treatment.

چکیده
Complications of long-term linezolid administration include anemia and thrombocytopenia. A recent report has suggested that pyridoxine may prevent myelosuppression. Pyridoxine was administered to 24 patients with bone infections who were being treated with linezolid. Thrombocytopenia occurred in 11 patients (45.8%), and anemia occurred in 6 (25%). We concluded that treatment wtih pyridoxine is unlikely to benefit patients who have been receiving linezolid for >2 weeks.

Comparative study of the effects of pyridoxine, rifampin, and renal function on hematological adverse events induced by linezolid.
Hematological disturbances that develop during linezolid treatment are a major concern when linezolid is administered for prolonged periods of time. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influences of pyridoxine, rifampin, and renal function on hematological adverse events. From January 2002 to April 2006, 52 patients received a long-term course of linezolid. Blood cell counts were monitore...
متن کاملIn the Literature Can We Prevent Linezolid - Associated Anemia and Thrombocytopenia ?
The most frequently encountered adverse effects of linezolid therapy are anemia and thrombocytopenia, both of which are observed mostly in individuals receiving the drug for 12 weeks, and both of which are generally reversible after discontinuation of treatment. This effect appears to be the result of bone marrow suppression, possibly as a consequence of inhibition of mitochondrial protein synt...
متن کاملNonclinical and pharmacokinetic assessments to evaluate the potential of tedizolid and linezolid to affect mitochondrial function.
Prolonged treatment with the oxazolidinone linezolid is associated with myelosuppression, lactic acidosis, and neuropathies, toxicities likely caused by impairment of mitochondrial protein synthesis (MPS). To evaluate the potential of the novel oxazolidinone tedizolid to cause similar side effects, nonclinical and pharmacokinetic assessments were conducted. In isolated rat heart mitochondria, t...
متن کاملHIGH-DOSE ORAL PYRIDOXINE FOR TREATMENT OF PEDIATRIC RECURRENT INTRACTABLE SEIZURES
Intractable epilepsy is a common clinical problem in pediatrics and approximately 13% of children with epilepsy experience intractable seizures. To determine the efficacy of pyridoxine in treating seizures, 30 infants and children with recurrent seizures were enrolled in the present study. All of them were treated with high-dose oral pyridoxine (40 mg/kg/day), as an adjunct to antiepileptic...
متن کاملComplications of MRSA Treatment: Linezolid-induced Myelosuppression Presenting with Pancytopenia
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections have grown to epidemic proportions in the United States. With the development of increasing drug resistance of MRSA to traditional antimicrobials, there has been a search for a more effective antibiotic treatment. Linezolid is one of the most effective oral medications used for outpatient treatment of MRSA infections. We present a ca...
