For Skin and Structure Infection "This does not work, period. All it did was make my head hurt and me itchy. I think this is a fraud, it did not clear up my MRSA skin infection, not even a bit. I got worse by stopping ZYVOX for this experiment - don't do it, guys. This is a joke, lasts 10 days? Come on, if that were true, it would be a miracle cure. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is... This is a useless, worthless option, you're harmed more because you stop a viable drug for this garbage. I gave it 5 days, nothing happened, exacerbated the MRSA, which got worse because I stopped ZYVOX. This is not a real drug or treatment for MRSA. Demand vancomycin... The claims are bogus. No drug lasts that long, and this is ineffective. I think my doctor is crazy. This needs to be taken off the market. If this were true, it would be the new penicillin, everyone would hear about it. Well, I can see why I never heard of it or the medicine company, because this feels like a fake drug, and I'm mad at my doctor for putting me through this."

For Skin and Structure Infection "Well, this is the second time Orbactiv was forced on me tonight, this time by ER. OMG, 5 hours of waiting and then 3 hours to drip. Someone please shoot me, put me out of my misery. Even when you specifically ask the doctor for Vancomycin, the doctor ordered this fake MRSA drug, Orbactiv, and the nurse came back and told me I have to do an X-ray, then I'm getting Orbactiv. I tried telling them I needed Vancomycin to no avail. Seems the medicine company and Melinta Pharma have brainwashed the medical community. It works and is a better alternative to Vancomycin. SMH, OMG, it makes your head hurt like anything afterwards. Rather than get no help at all, I reluctantly accepted my fate and got my second dose of Orbactiv. I can tell you now it won't do a darn thing for me. I'm resistant to every antibiotic except Zyvox. Well, it's a total dud. It's a shame the corrupt drug companies and the FDA are so cozy, they dupe the public."
