Mycotuf 250mg Tablet

Question 1

Is it necessary to take pyridoxine with Mycotuf?

Answer

Pyridoxine is vitamin B6 that helps to prevent nerve damage, which may occur with the use of Mycotuf. The symptoms of nerve damage are numbness, tingling, or pain in your hands or feet.

Question 2

Why is Mycotuf called a second line drug?

Answer

Tuberculosis (TB) is a difficult infection to treat and when it is detected for the first time, first-line drugs are used. Generally, the appropriate use of first-line drugs (e.g. isoniazid, rifampicin, ethambutol, pyrazinamide, and streptomycin) can effectively cure TB. But, if the patient does not respond to first-line medicines, then second-line medicines (e.g. Mycotuf, kanamycin, ciprofloxacin, etc.) are used. Second-line medicines have more side effects and are the second choice in terms of effectiveness.

Question 3

What are the symptoms which are suggestive of liver toxicity caused by Mycotuf?

Answer

If you develop symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eye white), dark urine, discolored stools, pain and tenderness in the upper right abdomen, inform your doctor immediately. These could be the signs of liver toxicity.

Question 4

Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done regularly?

Answer

The blood tests are done to check if your liver is functioning properly or not, since Mycotuf may affect your liver. Mycotuf can also alter your blood glucose levels and thyroid hormone levels. Therefore, monitoring is required.

Question 5

Are there any precautions that I should take while taking Mycotuf so that I respond to the treatment?

Answer

It is very important that you take the medicine exactly as directed by your doctor. Your doctor will prescribe at least two more medicines to be taken with Mycotuf. Take all the prescribed medicines as per the instructions and do not miss or stop the treatment on your own. Missing doses and stopping the treatment without consulting the doctor are the major causes of treatment failure and drug resistance (not responding to the medication).

Question 6

What is Mycotuf? What is it used for?

Answer

Mycotuf is an antibiotic. It is used as a second-line medicine in combination with other anti-tuberculosis medicines for the treatment of all forms of tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Question 7

For how long do I need to take Mycotuf?

Answer

Your doctor will decide the duration of your treatment depending upon your response to the treatment. The doctor will observe your maximum improvement by evaluating you clinically as well as your blood tests.

Question 8

My friend is taking Mycotuf and other medicines for TB. I have noticed that sometimes she acts very aggressively. Is it because of the disease or the treatment?

Answer

These changes could be due to Mycotuf or other medicines that she is taking for TB. Mycotuf may cause depression, confusion, aggression, abnormal thinking, and even hallucinations. You should speak to her family or doctor and help her out.
