PYZINA KID TABLET is used to treat and prevent tuberculosis (TB). PYZINA KID TABLET is used in combination with other anti-tuberculosis agents. Tuberculosis is an infectious bacterial disease that mainly affects the lungs, but it can also spread to other body parts such as the kidneys, brain, spine, and bone marrow. PYZINA KID TABLET does not work against infections caused by the virus.

PYZINA KID TABLET contains isoniazid, an antibiotic that works by preventing bacteria from producing mycolic acids, an enzyme required for cell wall formation (protective coating). As a result of the disturbance in their metabolism, bacteria that lack a cell wall die and burst. Thus, PYZINA KID TABLET inhibits the spread of infection by acting against the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which causes tuberculosis.

Use PYZINA KID TABLET as prescribed. Use PYZINA KID TABLET for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for your child based on his/her medical condition. Sometimes, PYZINA KID TABLET may cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, constipation, difficulty passing urine, numbness, or tingling in the feet or hands. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if any of these side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If your child is allergic to Isoniazid, please inform your doctor. It is important that you complete the entire course of PYZINA KID TABLET as prescribed by the doctor, even if your child feels better after taking a few doses, because stopping the drug abruptly may not kill bacteria and may result in a resurgence of tuberculosis.

PYZINA KID TABLET is used in the treatment of Tuberculosis (TB). The detailed uses of PYZINA KID TABLET are as follows:

• Treatment of Active Tuberculosis (TB): PYZINA KID TABLET is a first-line antitubercular agent used in combination with other drugs to treat active TB infections in children. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of mycolic acids, essential components of the bacterial cell wall, thereby killing Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
• Latent Tuberculosis Infection (LTBI): PYZINA KID TABLET is used as a monotherapy for children who have been exposed to TB but do not show active symptoms. It helps prevent the progression from latent infection to active disease, especially in high-risk paediatric populations.
• Tuberculous Meningitis: PYZINA KID TABLET is included in combination regimens for treating TB meningitis in children. It penetrates the cerebrospinal fluid effectively, making it valuable in managing central nervous system TB infections.
• Prophylaxis in High-Risk Children: PYZINA KID TABLET may be used as a preventive measure for children who are immunocompromised or have been in close contact with TB-positive individuals, reducing the risk of developing active TB.

• PYZINA KID TABLET should be administered at least 30 minutes before a meal or 2 hours after a meal as directed by the doctor.
• Follow your doctor’s instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication to ensure safety.
• Disperse the tablet in the suggested amount of water and give the mixture to your child using an oral syringe or measuring cup.
• Do not store the mixture for later use.

PYZINA KID TABLET contains isoniazid, an antibiotic used to treat and prevent tuberculosis. PYZINA KID TABLET prevents bacteria from producing mycolic acids, which are required for the formation of cell walls (protective coating). Additionally, PYZINA KID TABLET may combine with an enzyme that interferes with bacterial cell metabolism. Bacteria die as a result of the disruption in their metabolism and the lack of a cell wall. As a result, it kills Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria that causes tuberculosis (TB) and eliminates the infection. PYZINA KID TABLET is used in combination with other anti-tuberculosis agents to treat all forms of tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

If your child is allergic to Isoniazid, please inform your doctor. If your child feels thirsty all the time and has to go to the toilet often, contact your doctor, as they may have high blood sugar. You are recommended to complete the full course of PYZINA KID TABLET as prescribed by the doctor even if your child feels better after 2 weeks of using PYZINA KID TABLET as discontinuing the medicine suddenly may not kill bacteria and there might be a relapse of tuberculosis.
