Suggest An Alternative Of Linezolid
My mother-in-law received surgical treatment for a spider bite, species unknown. She was sent home with an Rx for Linezolid which we found is outrageously expensive - 2K+. We are just curious if there are alternatives that are more reasonably priced for a senior. The first doctor initially gave her Sulfameth. I know they are treating this as a bacterial infection, but, there has to be alternatives. Thanks!
