PYZINA KID TABLET

PYZINA KID TABLET belongs to the group of medicines called anti-tubercular agents primarily 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 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 for treating all forms of tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
