Overview Koxylar 800mg Tablet

Tuberculosis medication, Koxylar 800mg tablets, combats this infectious disease primarily affecting the lungs, sometimes other organs. Classified as an anti-tuberculosis antibiotic, it's always administered alongside at least one additional tuberculosis drug, as directed by your physician, for both treatment and prevention. Take it with or without food, consistently at the same time daily. Complete the prescribed course, regardless of feeling better; premature discontinuation risks treatment failure and drug-resistant tuberculosis, leading to severe complications. If a dose is missed, take it promptly unless your next dose is imminent; then omit the missed dose. Never double the dose to avoid heightened side effects. Visual disturbances, including color blindness, are potential side effects; consult your doctor if these persist or worsen. Diabetics should inform their physician, as Koxylar can decrease blood sugar; regular monitoring is crucial. Your doctor may monitor your liver, vision, and thyroid during treatment.
