About PYZINA KID TABLET

PYZINA KID TABLET belongs to a group of medicines called anti-tubercular agents, which are primarily used to treat and prevent tuberculosis (TB). Tuberculosis is an infectious bacterial disease that mainly affects the lungs, but it can also spread to other parts of the body, including 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 prevents 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.

Take PYZINA KID TABLET for as long as your doctor has prescribed it based on your medical condition. Sometimes, you may experience fever, dizziness, nausea, stomach upset, loss of appetite, constipation, tiredness, numbness, or tingling in the feet or hands as side effects of PYZINA KID TABLET. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and typically resolve on their own over time. However, if any of these side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Please tell your doctor if you are allergic to PYZINA KID TABLET or any other medicines. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please inform your doctor before taking PYZINA KID TABLET. PYZINA KID TABLET may cause mental health problems, fits, or optic neuritis (swelling of the optic nerve that may cause vision loss) in some people. Therefore, avoid driving if you experience any of these symptoms after taking PYZINA KID TABLET. Avoid foods and drinks containing histamine or tyramine, such as cured meats, matured cheeses, soy, tuna, salmon, mackerel, wine, and beer, while taking PYZINA KID TABLET, as they may interact with this medication. If you have fits, diabetes, HIV infection, malnutrition, kidney or liver problems, or have suffered from psychosis (mental disturbances), inform your doctor before taking PYZINA KID TABLET.
