• if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement

• Amphetamines (eg, dextroamphetamine), anorexiants (eg, phentermine, sibutramine), or sympathomimetics (eg, dopamine, epinephrine, pseudoephedrine) because the risk of serious side effects, including severe headache, fever, or high blood pressure, may be increased

Important safety information:

• Zyvox may cause dizziness. This effect may be worse if you take it with alcohol or certain medicines. Use Zyvox with caution. Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it.
• Be sure to use Zyvox for the full course of treatment. If you do not, the medicine may not clear up your infection completely. The bacteria could also become less sensitive to this or other medicines. This could make the infection harder to treat in the future.
• Long-term or repeated use of Zyvox may cause a second infection. Tell your doctor if signs of a second infection occur. Your medicine may need to be changed to treat this.
• Mild diarrhea is common with antibiotic use. However, a more serious form of diarrhea (pseudomembranous colitis) may rarely occur. This may develop while you use the antibiotic or within several months after you stop using it. Contact your doctor right away if stomach pain or cramps, severe diarrhea, or bloody stools occur. Do not treat diarrhea without first checking with your doctor.
• Zyvox may cause serious increases in blood pressure if certain foods are eaten. Avoid eating foods such as aged cheeses, sour cream, red wines, beer, bologna, pepperoni, salami, summer sausage, pickled herring, liver, meat prepared with tenderizers, canned figs, raisins, bananas, avocados, soy sauce, fava beans, or yeast extracts. Obtain a complete list of foods and beverages from your doctor or pharmacist.
• Zyvox may reduce the number of clot-forming cells (platelets) in your blood. Avoid activities that may cause bruising or injury. Tell your doctor if you have unusual bruising or bleeding. Tell your doctor if you have dark, tarry, or bloody stools.
• Zyvox only works against bacteria; it does not treat viral infections (eg, the common cold).
• Lab tests, including blood cell counts, may be performed while you use Zyvox. These tests may be used to monitor your condition or check for side effects. Be sure to keep all doctor and lab appointments.
• Zyvox should be used with extreme caution in CHILDREN; safety and effectiveness in children have not been confirmed.
• PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: If you become pregnant, contact your doctor. You will need to discuss the benefits and risks of using Zyvox while you are pregnant. It is not known if Zyvox is found in breast milk. If you are or will be breast-feeding while you use Zyvox, check with your doctor. Discuss any possible risks to your baby.
