Macox Zh Kid Tablets Description

Macox Zh Kid Tab is a combination of three medicines used to manage tuberculosis in children. The three medicines are Isoniazid, Rifampicin, and Pyrizinamide. Unfortunately, this tablet can be toxic

in some cases, hence reducing the patient's compliance. Side effects of Macox Zh Kid Tab include nausea, vomiting, dark coloured urine, rash, fever, and jaundice. Do not stop the medicine abruptly as it will reduce the efficacy of the tablet and enforce a longer course of the treatment. The patient must follow the complete course of 9 to 12 months as advised by the physician.
