Solonex Dt 100mg Tablet
Solonex Dt 100 MG 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 mul
tiplying 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.
