Bro taking zyvox, (linezolid) now has mouth sores and possible hemorrhoids. he informed the doc but nothing was done. is this a normal side effect of the drug?

See full answer: While Zyvox (linezolid) can cause oral thrush & tongue discoloration, I didn't find any direct link to hemorrhoids. Since it is an antibiotic, though, it can cause diarrhea, and straining with diarrhea can cause hemorrhoids.
