Tedizolid, sold under the brand name Sivextro (by Merck) is an oxazolidinone-class antibiotic. Tedizolid phosphate is a phosphate ester prodrug of the active compound tedizolid. It was developed by Cubist Pharmaceuticals, following acquisition of Trius Therapeutics (originator: Dong-A Pharmaceuticals), and is marketed for the treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (also known as complicated skin and skin-structure infections (cSSSIs)).[5]

The most common side effects include nausea (feeling sick), headache, diarrhoea and vomiting.[4] These side effects were generally of mild or moderate severity.[4]

Tedizolid was approved for medical use by the FDA in the United States in June 2014,[6][7] and for medical use in the European Union by EMA in March 2015.[4]
