Patient Concerns about Mycotuf Products
Frequently asked questions about Mycotuf Products
Frequently asked questions about Ethionamide
Q. What is Mycotuf 250mg Tablet? What is it used for?
Mycotuf 250mg Tablet 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.
Q. Why is Mycotuf 250mg Tablet called a second line drug?
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 250mg Tablet, kanamycin, ciprofloxacin, etc.) are used. Second-line medicines have more side effects and are the second choice in terms of effectiveness.
Q. Are there any precautions that I should take while taking Mycotuf 250mg Tablet so that I respond to the treatment?
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 250mg Tablet. 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).
Q. For how long do I need to take Mycotuf 250mg Tablet?
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.
Q. Why has my doctor asked me to get blood tests done regularly?
The blood tests are done to check if your liver is functioning properly or not, since Mycotuf 250mg Tablet may affect your liver. Mycotuf 250mg Tablet can also alter your blood glucose levels and thyroid hormone levels. Therefore, monitoring is required.
Q. What are the symptoms which are suggestive of liver toxicity caused by Mycotuf 250mg Tablet?
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.
Q. Is it necessary to take pyridoxine with Mycotuf 250mg Tablet?
Pyridoxine is vitamin B6 that helps to prevent nerve damage, which may occur with the use of Mycotuf 250mg Tablet. The symptoms of nerve damage are numbness, tingling, or pain in your hands or feet.
Q. My friend is taking Mycotuf 250mg Tablet and other medicines for TB. I have noticed that sometimes she acts very aggressively. Is it because of the disease or the treatment?
These changes could be due to Mycotuf 250mg Tablet or other medicines that she is taking for TB. Mycotuf 250mg Tablet may cause depression, confusion, aggression, abnormal thinking, and even hallucinations. You should speak to her family or doctor and help her out.
