Pza Ciba 250 MG Description
Pza Ciba syrup is a prescription medicine used to manage tuberculosis or TB infection (a serious bacterial infection that mainly affects the lungs). It consists of only one active ingredient: pyrazin
amide. This medicine is commonly used along with other anti-TB medications since the bacteria can develop resistance quickly. Doctors usually prescribe Pza Ciba syrup for at least a few months. The duration also depends on various aspects, such as the severity of infection in the patient. Follow your doctor’s directions for using Pza Ciba syrup. It is important that you do not stop this medicine before completing the course, even if you feel better. Or else, the infection might return, and the TB bacteria may develop resistance and make it even harder to manage the disease.
