When checking interaction based on authoritative sources Drugs.com, Rxlist.com, Webmd.com, Medscape.com there are contraindications or side effects that may cause harm or increase the negative effect from drug use in presence of concomitant diseases.

Consumer:

Linezolid is primarily metabolized by the liver. The pharmacokinetics of linezolid are not altered in patients with mild to moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class A or B) and, therefore, no dosage adjustments are necessary. Pharmacokinetic data are not available for patients with severe hepatic impairment. Therapy with linezolid should be administered cautiously in such patients.
