Drug introduction

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

Dosage

Directions for use: Follow your physician's instructions when taking CYCLOSERINE. It is usually recommended to take it on an empty stomach, i.e. 2 hours before or 2 hours after a meal. Do not take with sodium-containing foods or supplements as this may affect the effectiveness of the medicine. While in use, avoid engaging in activities that require a high level of alertness, such as driving a motorcycle or operating machinery.

Dosing Guidelines: The starting dose for adults is usually 250 mg to 500 mg daily, given in divided doses. Physicians may adjust the dosage according to the patient's condition, with the maximum dosage not exceeding 1 gram per day. For children, dosage will be based on weight and age, so strictly follow your physician's instructions for appropriate dosage. If you have any ambiguity or questions, please consult a medical professional immediately.

CYCLOSERINE is a drug used to treat tuberculosis. Common adverse reactions include headache, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite and anxiety. More serious side effects may include psychotic symptoms such as hallucinations, mood swings, and psychosis. During the period of using CYCLOSERINE, patients should pay close attention to their own condition and inform their doctor immediately if they have any discomfort. In addition, long-term use of CYCLOSERINE may also cause damage to liver function and neurological problems, so the drug must be used as directed by your doctor and never adjust the dose or discontinue treatment on your own.
