Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Does P Zide cause gout?
A: Yes. Gout is a condition in which there is excessive deposition of uric acid in the joints. Pyrazinamide is broken down into several metabolites before it is excreted out. One of the metabolites decreases the excretion of uric acid. Hence uric acid accumulates in the joints leading to gout. Gout is characterised by swelling, pain, and redness on the joint.
Q: Is P Zide Tablet enough to fight tuberculosis?
A: P Zide Tablet is taken along with other antibiotics to treat tuberculosis. A combination of all the antibiotics can effectively control the infection. Using only one antibiotic can increase the chances of antimicrobial resistance; hence a combination of medicines is used.
Q: Can birth pills be used with P Zide Tablets?
A: P Zide Tablets decrease the efficacy of birth control pills. Alternative methods of contraceptives like condoms or diaphragms should be used.
