Ethamobazine is a drug used to treat tuberculosis. It is often used with other anti-tuberculosis drugs to increase treatment effectiveness and reduce drug resistance. The main function of ethamobazine is to inhibit the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria, thereby helping the body clear the infection. Patients should have regular vision tests while using ethamobazine because this drug may cause optic nerve damage. In addition, patients should follow their doctor's recommendations, take their medications on time, and do not miss doses or overdose. If you have any adverse reactions or questions, tell your doctor immediately. In Hong Kong, ethimobazine is a prescription drug used according to a doctor's prescription. Patients should strictly abide by the doctor's instructions to ensure treatment effectiveness and safety.
Instructions for use: The drug should be taken orally, and it is recommended to take it on an empty stomach, that is, 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal. Avoid taking it with supplements containing aluminum, magnesium, or zinc, as these may affect the effectiveness of the medicine. Drinking alcohol should be avoided while taking it.
Dosing Guidelines: For adult patients, the starting dose is 15-25 mg/kg body weight daily, divided into once or twice daily. Dosage can be adjusted based on patient tolerance and severity of condition, but the maximum daily dose should not exceed 2 grams. For pediatric patients, the dose needs to be determined based on age and weight. The usual daily dose is 15-25 mg/kg body weight, divided into once or twice daily.
