Medical Description

Mycobutol is a prescription medication. It is used with other medications in the treatment of Tuberculosis. The active component of Mycobutol is Ethambutol. Tuberculosis is an infective condition that is caused by bacteria. This infection usually begins in the lungs and causes difficulty in breathing, cough, and fever.

Ethambutol is part of the first-line medications used to treat TB, rifampicin, pyrazinamide and isoniazid. Mycobutol should only be given in combination with other anti-tubercular medicines.

Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Ethambutol is a bacteriostatic agent. This means that it slows down the division and reproduction of bacteria. It inhibits the enzymes responsible for re-building the bacterial cell wall and those involved in cell division. It is given in combination with other medications as this enhances the efficacy in fighting the infection. It also reduces the chances of resistance.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

Antacids reduce the amount of Ethambutol that is absorbed from the gut to the bloodstream. To avoid this, Mycobutol should be taken at least 1 hour before antacids such as pantoprazole, rabeprazole, or ranitidine. Antacids are recommended to be taken at least 4 hours after using this medicine.
Oral typhoid vaccine might be inactivated by concomitant antibiotic administration.

Interactions with food items

This medication is recommended to be taken with food as it may decrease gastric irritation.
