Mycurit 3 Tablet Description

Mycurit 3 tablet is used to treat tuberculosis (or TB infection), a very contagious bacterial infection that affects the lungs. The active ingredients in Mycurit 3 tablets are Isoniazid, Rifampicin,

and Ethambutol. All three are anti-tuberculosis medications. This medicine works by killing the bacteria in various ways and lowering infection. The doctor's directions for use of Mycurit 3 tablets should be strictly followed. This medicine may be prescribed for a few months at least. Tuberculosis bacteria die very slowly, so the treatment takes a long time. The length of treatment depends on numerous factors, such as the affected person's overall health. Before prescribing this medicine, certain tests are conducted, after which a treatment plan is set up. Users must continue taking the medication, even if they feel better. Stopping midway can cause the TB bacteria to develop resistance to the medicine quickly. This might cause the infection to return more severely and be harder to treat. Side effects of Mycurit 3 tablets include Vitamin B6 deficiency. This medicine may also change the colour of the tears, saliva, etc., to orange, which is not harmful or permanent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

^

Q: Can I use antacid medicines while using Mycurit 3 tablets?

A: It is not recommended to take Mycurit 3 tablets and certain types of antacids at the same time. Do not use antacids within two hours of taking a Mycurit 3 tablet. Consult your doctor if you have persistent stomach problems.

Q: Should I stop using Mycurit 3 tablets if I am feeling better?

A: Tuberculosis bacteria do not die easily and it takes a long time to completely eliminate them from the body. Do not stop using Mycurit 3 tablets in the middle of the treatment schedule, even if you think you are feeling better. If you stop midway, the bacteria will multiply again and may gain resistance to the current medications. This leads to reinfection, making it even harder to kill the bacteria.

Q: Can I wear contact lenses while using Mycurit 3 tablets?

A: It is not advisable to wear contact lenses while on this treatment. Mycurit 3 tablets can change the colour of eyes, urine, etc., to orange. This colour change is not harmful but can permanently change the colour of your contact lenses.
