Myconex 800mg Tablet 10's

Myconex 800mg Tablet belongs to the group of medications called ‘antituberculosis agents’ primarily used in the treatment of tuberculosis (TB). Tuberculosis is an infectious bacterial disease that mainly affects the lungs, but it can also spread to other body parts such as kidneys, brain, spine and bone marrow. Myconex 800mg Tablet does not work against infections caused by the virus.

Myconex 800mg Tablet contains Isoniazid and Ethambutol. They are bacteriostatic agents (stop the growth of bacteria) and have a similar mode of action. They work by preventing mycolic acid production (an enzyme produced by bacteria) essential for cell wall formation (protective coating). Thereby, bacteria get killed without a cell wall and burst due to disruption in their metabolism.
