Medical Description

Solonex DT is an antibiotic used to treat tuberculosis. It is chemically composed of isoniazid or an isonicotinic acid hydrazide, an anti-tubercular medicine (treats tuberculosis infection). Fast multiplying tuberculosis bacteria are rapidly killed, but the medicine only inhibits quiescent ones. It kills both extracellular and intracellular tuberculosis bacteria. Solonex DT is an essential component of all Tuberculosis treatment regimens. The medicine has to be taken orally on an empty stomach. The dose and the duration of the medicine have to be prescribed by your doctor. Do not skip any dose and complete the entire course of treatment as advised. Skipping doses or not completing the course might render the medicine ineffective in treating future infections. Common side effects are peripheral neuropathy (tingling and numbness of palms and soles) and liver damage. If you develop a severe allergic reaction, stop the medicine immediately and consult your doctor. Liver function has to be assessed regularly while on this medicine. The doctor might prescribe you vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) along with Solonex DT to prevent tingling and numbness.

Precautions and Warnings

Pregnancy

Solonex DT is used cautiously in pregnancy to treat active tuberculosis infection. The medicine crosses the placenta (a pathway between the mother and the growing baby), and hence the newborn should be closely monitored for side effects if the mother has been prescribed the same. However, preventive treatment for tuberculosis should only be started after the female delivers to avoid the risk of exposure to the developing baby. There are no adequate studies and research about the effects of the medicine in pregnant females. Consult your doctor if you’re pregnant before starting the medicine.

Breast Feeding

Nursing mothers can continue to breastfeed while on Solonex DT. Studies suggest that it gets excreted in breast milk in small quantities and does not produce any harmful effects in the newborn. The doctor should be informed if you are a nursing mother before starting it.

Driving

Solonex Dt can affect your driving ability; avoid driving if you are experiencing dizziness or visual difficulties.

Alcohol

Alcohol should not be consumed if you are on Solonex DT. The use of alcohol and Solonex DT increases the risk of liver damage. Consult your doctor for more details.

Talk to your doctor if
  • You develop any serious allergic reaction (fever, chills and swelling of face and tongue ) or any serious side effects (fits or visual disturbances) after taking the medicine
  • You’re suffering from liver disease or kidney disease
  • You are on long term medication for any medical health condition
  • You are a pregnant female or a nursing mother

Directions for Use

  • The dose and duration of Solonex DT should be prescribed by the doctor.
  • Do not start the medicine without consulting a doctor.
  • The entire course of treatment should be taken to prevent the development of resistance (medicine becomes ineffective and difficult to treat infection in the future).
  • The medicine has to be taken orally on an empty stomach with a glass of water.
  • Do not chew or crush the medicine.
  • Preferably take medicine at the same time each day as prescribed.

Storage and disposal

Store at room temperature (20-25 degrees celsius) away from light and moisture. Keep it out of reach of children and pets. Expired medicines should be discarded properly.

Dosage

Overdose

In case you have overdosed, look for symptoms like nausea, vomiting, vision problems, slurring of speech, fits or breathing difficulties. Report to the emergency or call for medical help immediately if you experience any of the above. Overdosage of the medicine can be life-threatening.

Missed a Dose

In case you miss a dose, take the next dose as soon as you remember. If it's near the time of your next dose, skip the dose. Avoid doubling up the dose to catch up.

Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

The medicine inhibits mycolic acid synthesis. Mycolic acid is a fatty acid that is a component of the cell wall of tuberculosis bacteria. It is primarily a tuberculocidal medicine. It kills both extracellular and intracellular tuberculosis bacteria residing inside macrophages. The tuberculosis bacteria can develop resistance against the medicine. Hence, the use of Solonex DT alone (as monotherapy) to treat tuberculosis is avoided.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

  • Ketoconazole, Itraconazole: Antifungals (treats fungal infection)
  • Fluoxetine, Sertraline: Antidepressants (treats depression)
  • Theophylline (used in asthma)
  • Phenytoin, Valproate (treatment of fits)
  • *Solonex DT can modify the effect of the medicines listed above. Please inform your doctor if you are taking any medicine other than Solonex DT

Interactions with food items

  • Solonex DT should not be taken with food. Take medicine on an empty stomach. Avoid consuming tropical fish, red wine and cheese and medicine to avoid serious side effects. In case you develop headache, dizziness, sweating, fast heartbeat or increase in blood pressure, call for medical help right away. Consult your doctor for more information.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Solonex DT is an anti-tubercular medicine. Tuberculosis is an infection of the lung caused by bacteria called mycobacterium tuberculosis. Medicine forms an essential component of all tuberculosis treatment regimens. It treats both active and latent tuberculosis infections. Your doctor can only start it. The possible long term side effects are tingling and numbness of hands and feet, jaundice, nausea and vomiting.

Yellowing of your eyes is probably due to jaundice which is a side effect of this medicine.

Consult your doctor for more information and evaluation of jaundice.
