For Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Infection "I acquired a Staph infection after rotator cuff surgery. It was as painful, if not more painful, as shingles. Have been taking Zyvox for 14 days, with 3 to go. It has worked to heal the sores. The problem is the constant stomach upset and nausea. It is a very unpleasant feeling, somewhat like seasickness."

For Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Infection "I am starting on my second week of a 28-day regimen of Zyvox. I have had a staph infection for over a year that will go away after being lanced and then come right back in a different place. So far, the infection is gone, and I am praying that it doesn't come back. There has been some nausea, stomach aches, and being more tired than normal. Would take that any day over the pain of a severe staph infection."

For Bacterial Infection "I was prescribed this generic for a raging infection contracted when I had a small surgical procedure done on my finger. Within 24 hours of the procedure, my finger was inflamed and throbbing. Keeflex was first prescribed, and another 24 hours later, it was determined it had not touched the infection. So, I was given Zyvox. It totally eradicated the germ I had contracted. I did have some bothersome side effects, mostly with my stomach just not feeling right. Later in the second week, my tongue turned brown, but no other problems. I was very tired most of the time and could not decide if it was the med or the infection."
