R Cinex E Tablet Description

R Cinex E Tablets are used in the treatment of tuberculosis or TB infection. It is composed of three active ingredients: isoniazid, rifampicin, and ethambutol. All three are anti-tuberculosis (anti-T

B) medications. They all work in various ways to kill the bacteria and lower the infection. It is essential not to stop using this medicine in the middle of the treatment, even if you feel better. Doctors usually prescribe to take R Cinex E tablets for at least a few months. The treatment duration depends on various aspects, such as the condition of the patient. 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. Tuberculosis is a very contagious bacterial infection that affects the lungs. TB bacteria die very slowly; hence the treatment is so long. It also quickly develops resistance to anti-tuberculosis medicines.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

^

Q: Should I stop using the R Cinex E Tablet if I am feeling better?

A: No, do not stop using R Cinex E Tablets any time in the middle of the treatment, even if you think you are feeling better. Tuberculosis bacteria die very slowly, and it takes a long time to completely eliminate them. If you stop in the middle, the bacteria will multiply again and may gain resistance to the current treatment. This causes reinfection and makes it even harder to kill the bacteria.

Q: Can I wear contact lenses while using R Cinex E Tablet?

  • It is not advisable to wear contact lenses while on this treatment. This medicine can change the colour of eyes, urine, etc., to orange. This colour change is not harmful. However, it can permanently ...
