Drug introduction

Cycloserine is a drug used to treat tuberculosis. It is an antibiotic that fights TB germs by stopping the growth of the bacteria. Cycloserine is often used with other anti-TB drugs to enhance the effectiveness of treatment. In Hong Kong, Cycloserine is commonly used to treat multidrug-resistant TB that is resistant to or intolerant of other drug treatments. Patients should strictly follow their doctor's advice when using Cycloserine and use the medication as directed. It should be monitored regularly by a doctor during use to ensure efficacy and safety. Cycloserine use may cause some side effects such as headache, nausea, and nervous system problems. If serious side effects occur, tell your doctor right away. Overall, Cycloserine is an effective anti-tuberculosis drug, but it must be used under the guidance of a professional doctor to ensure the best therapeutic effect.

Dosage

Directions: Please take CYCLOSERINE as directed by your physician. It is usually recommended to take it on an empty stomach, that is, 2 hours before or 2 hours after a meal. Do not take with food or supplements containing sodium as this may affect the effectiveness of the drug. During use, avoid activities requiring high alertness such as driving a motorcycle or operating machinery.

Dosage Guidelines: The usual starting dose for adults is 250 mg to 500 mg daily, taken in divided doses. The physician may adjust the dose according to the patient's condition, with the maximum dose not exceeding 1 gram per day.
