How long does it take for oral zyvox (linezolid) to improve a sinus infection with staph epidermidis mrse? i still feel crummy after 5 days on zyvox (linezolid).

Unusual: Staph epidermidis is a normal part of the skin flora and I would doubt that this is causing your sinus infection (if it is a sinus infection at all). Call your doctor or consult an ENT doctor.If Zyvox (linezolid) is causing you to feel bad, you should stop it since the problem does not appear to be life-threatening but the drug reaction may well be if you keep on taking it.
