Symptoms to watch for

Monitor for altered effectiveness and side effects when combining Buprenorphine with Tedizolid. Antibiotics can affect liver enzymes and alter the blood levels of other medications. Watch for: unusual nausea, vomiting, diarrhea (especially watery or bloody), stomach cramps, skin rash, dizziness, or signs the other medication is working differently than usual. When to seek emergency help: Severe allergic reaction (difficulty breathing, swelling of face/throat, hives), severe or persistent diarrhea (possible C. difficile infection), yellowing of skin or eyes, dark urine, or irregular heartbeat. Complete the full antibiotic course as prescribed.
