Overview Cavidin 450mg Tablet

Tuberculosis, a lung infection sometimes affecting other organs, is treated with the antibiotic Cavidin 450mg tablets. This medication combats severe infections, used either independently or alongside other drugs. Cavidin 450mg may also be prescribed for asymptomatic carriers. Administer on an empty stomach—at least half an hour pre-meal or two hours post-meal. Follow your doctor's instructions precisely regarding dosage and duration; consistent daily timing maximizes effectiveness. Premature cessation risks infection recurrence and treatment complications. Potential side effects include thrombocytopenia, headache, vertigo, emesis, nausea, and pyrexia; these are typically transient and resolve with continued therapy. Report persistent or bothersome side effects to your physician. Prior to commencing treatment, inform your doctor of pregnancy, lactation, liver, kidney, or heart conditions, or any drug allergies. Regular blood tests to monitor liver function may be conducted during treatment.
