Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Myser 250 mg Capsule works as a second line of treatment in active tuberculosis where the medicines that are used as the first line of treatment have failed to control the progress of the disease. Myser Capsule is an antibiotic that stops the growth of disease-causing germs and kills them. It does so by blocking the formation of those enzymes that are responsible for the multiplication of these germs. This weakens the germs and ultimately results in their death. Myser 250 mg aids in the treatment of tuberculosis in the lungs as well as in other parts of the body. It is always given in combination with other medicines that aid in the treatment of tuberculosis.

  • Medicine supplements such as calcium, magnesium, vitamin B may be less absorbed while on treatment with Myser.
