For Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Infection "This antibiotic was administered every 8 hours for 10 days, saved my leg, possibly my life. Yes, I had heartburn, yes, I had a rash, and I'd do it all over again because it saved my life. I hope this country continues to develop powerful drugs like this one that can save us from diseases, infections, and such that continue to overtake our communities."

For Bone infection "My father was taking this drug two times a day every twelve hours. Started off good, then developed a rash. Then got terribly sick. Went to the hospital and went into total organ failure. Would not recommend this drug."
