Diabetic Ulcers =============== þ Drug Choice for Diabetic Ulcers - One study showed linezolid (Zyvox) better than other commonly used drugs (e.g., aminopenicillin-beta-lactamasy combinations such as Unasyn). Non-infected ulcers: 87% vs. 72% cure rate, and for infected ulcers: 81% vs. 68% cure rate. IV treatment duration shorter with linezolid (7.8 vs. 10.4 days) [Lipsky BA. Clin Infect Dis 2004;38:17-24]
