Who (i.e. type of doctor) does the most prescribing of linezolid, a medication to treat mrsa?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Answer is...: Doctors in a group that are unaware about the concept of anti microbial stewardship . In certain cases such as cellulitis, a potent but less expensive drug can be used such as Doxycycline or trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole.
