Mycurit 4mg Tablets Description

Mycurit tablets are used for treating tuberculosis or TB. It comprises four active ingredients: Isoniazid, rifampicin, ethambutol, and pyrazinamide. All of them are anti-tuberculosis medicines. All t

hese active ingredients help kill the bacteria in different ways. It is essential not to stop using this medicine, even if you feel better. TB bacteria die very slowly, and it quickly develops resistance to anti-tuberculosis medicines. Hence, different combinations of anti-TB medications are used to kill them. The Mycurit tablet has four different anti-TB medicines. Doctors usually prescribe to take them for at least 6 to 9 months, depending on the patient's condition. The treatment duration depends on various aspects, which the doctors will assess and decide on a treatment plan. Continue the treatment for the entire course without stopping. Or else, the infection might come back, and it would get even harder to treat. This medicine can lower vitamin B6 levels in the body, which can cause some nerve-related problems.
