Cyclorine Capsule 6's

Cyclorine Capsule belongs to the group of medicines called antibiotic drugs primarily used to treat tuberculosis. It is also used to treat kidney infections. Tuberculosis is an infectious disease that mainly affects the lungs. Cyclorine Capsule should not be used alone and must be given in combination with other tuberculosis medications. Cyclorine Capsule does not work against infections caused by the virus, including cold and flu.

Cyclorine Capsule consists of a medicine called 'Cycloserine' that works by inhibiting bacteria's cell-wall biosynthesis in susceptible strains of bacteria that causes tuberculosis (Mycobacterium tuberculosis).

Cyclorine Capsule should be taken as prescribed by the doctor. The dose and duration of Cyclorine Capsule can vary depending on your condition and the severity of the infection. Sometimes, you may experience certain common side effects, such as dizziness, drowsiness, mood changes, headache, numbness, and tingling. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Do not stop taking Cyclorine Capsule despite symptomatic relief. Treat your condition effectually, and continue taking Cyclorine Capsule for as long as it has been prescribed. Do not take Cyclorine Capsule if you have a seizure disorder, severe kidney disease, depression, anxiety or mental illness. Also, do not take Cyclorine Capsule if you are an alcoholic. Consult your doctor before taking Cyclorine Capsule if you are pregnant. Avoid breastfeeding while taking Cyclorine Capsule as it passes into breast milk. Cyclorine Capsule may cause dizziness and mood changes, so drive with caution if you experience these signs. Avoid consuming alcohol with Cyclorine Capsule as it might increase your risk of seizures. Inform your doctor immediately if you experience/notice confusion, seizure, or trouble speaking after taking Cyclorine Capsule.

Tuberculosis (TB): Tuberculosis is an infectious disease that affects the lungs, but it can also spread to other body parts such as kidneys, brain, spine and bone marrow. Tuberculosis is caused by a bacteria named Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It is a contagious disease that can spread to others through small droplets released into the air by a person suffering from tuberculosis. Symptoms include a cough that lasts for a few weeks, pain while coughing or normal breathing, unexplained fatigue, fever, night sweats, and loss of appetite and weight. People who smoke or consume alcohol, people diagnosed with HIV, and immune system problems are more likely at risk of developing active TB.
