Overview Koxylar 400mg Tablet

Koxilar 400mg tablets are anti-tuberculosis antibiotics. They combat tuberculosis, an infection primarily affecting the lungs but potentially other organs. This medication is always administered alongside at least one other anti-TB drug, as directed by your physician, for the prescribed duration and dosage. It can be taken with or without food, ideally at the same time each day. Complete the entire course, even if symptoms improve; premature cessation can cause treatment failure and drug-resistant tuberculosis, leading to severe health consequences. If a dose is missed, take it immediately unless the next dose is imminent; avoid doubling the dose to prevent increased side effects. Visual disturbances, including color blindness, are potential side effects. Report persistent or worsening symptoms to your doctor. Diabetics should inform their physician as Koxilar can lower blood sugar, necessitating regular monitoring. Your doctor may track your liver, visual acuity, and thyroid function during treatment.
