Econex 800 mg Tablet 6's belongs to the group of medications called ‘antituberculosis agents’ primarily used in the treatment of tuberculosis (TB). Tuberculosis is an infectious bacterial disease that mainly affects the lungs, but it can also spread to other body parts such as kidneys, brain, spine and bone marrow. Econex 800 mg Tablet 6's does not work against infections caused by the virus.
Econex 800 mg Tablet 6's contains Isoniazid and Ethambutol. They are bacteriostatic agents (stop the growth of bacteria) and have a similar mode of action. They work by preventing mycolic acid production (an enzyme produced by bacteria) essential for cell wall formation (protective coating). Thereby, bacteria get killed without a cell wall and burst due to disruption in their metabolism.
Take Econex 800 mg Tablet 6's exactly as prescribed by the doctor. Econex 800 mg Tablet 6's may cause side effects such as weakness, malaise (general discomfort), fatigue (feeling tired), loss of appetite, nausea or vomiting, dark urine, pale stools, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes) and vision problems. Inform your doctor immediately if any of these side effects persist or get worse.
It is not recommended to take Econex 800 mg Tablet 6's if you are allergic to any contents of it. Econex 800 mg Tablet 6's is not recommended for patients with severe liver problems and sight problems. Before taking Econex 800 mg Tablet 6's, inform your doctor if you have kidney problems, epilepsy (fits), diabetes, alcohol abuse, psychosis, malnourishment, HIV infection, and extra-pulmonary TB (TB infection outside the lungs). Econex 800 mg Tablet 6's should be used with caution in pregnant and breastfeeding women. Dose adjustments may be required in children and elderly people. Econex 800 mg Tablet 6's may interact with alcohol and increase the risk of liver damage. Econex 800 mg Tablet 6's may cause dizziness, so do not drive or operate heavy machinery if you feel dizzy.
Econex 800 mg Tablet 6's contains Isoniazid and Ethambutol, which is a fixed-dose combination used to treat tuberculosis (TB). Combination therapy reduces the development of drug resistance (reduction in the effectiveness of medication) as the bacteria causing TB develops drug resistance easily when monotherapy is given even for shorter periods. Econex 800 mg Tablet 6's helps to reduce the symptoms and control the disease effectively.
It is advised to get your eyesight checked before taking Econex 800 mg Tablet 6's. If you notice any changes in your vision while using this medicine, stop taking this medicine and immediately inform your doctor. In most cases, the vision change is temporary and sight returns to normal. However, it might take a longer time for eyesight to recover in some cases or the change might be permanent. If you develop jaundice (yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes), loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, or malaise, inform your doctor immediately, as these effects may be a sign of hepatitis (liver disease). In these cases, the doctor may advise you to undergo liver function tests and provide the necessary treatment.

Tuberculosis is caused by bacteria named Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It is a contagious disease that can spread to others through small droplets released into the air by a person suffering from tuberculosis. Symptoms include a cough that lasts for a few weeks, pain while coughing or normal breathing, unexplained fatigue, fever, night sweats, and loss of appetite, and weight. People who smoke or consume alcohol, and people diagnosed with HIV and immune system problems are more likely at risk of developing active TB.
