Ethambutol (800mg)

Overview Anbutol 800mg Tablet

Ethambutol 800mg tablets are an anti-tuberculosis medication, a type of antibiotic. They combat and prevent tuberculosis, an infection primarily impacting the lungs, sometimes affecting other organs. Ethambutol 800mg is typically prescribed alongside at least one additional anti-TB drug, following your physician's instructions regarding dosage and duration. This medication can be taken with or without food, ideally at the same time daily. Complete the entire course, even if symptoms improve; premature discontinuation can lead to treatment failure and drug-resistant tuberculosis, causing severe health issues. For missed doses, take it promptly unless the next dose is imminent; avoid doubling the dose to prevent increased side effects. Visual disturbances, including color blindness, may occur. Report any persistent or worsening side effects to your doctor. Diabetics should inform their physician, as this drug may lower blood glucose levels, requiring regular blood sugar monitoring. Your doctor may monitor your liver, vision, and thyroid function during treatment.
