About MACOX PLUS 150MG TABLET
MACOX PLUS 150MG TABLET belongs to the group of medicines called anti-tuberculosis drugs primarily used to treat and prevent tuberculosis. Tuberculosis is an infectious disease that mainly affects the lungs, but it can also spread to other body parts such as the kidneys, brain, spine, and bone marrow.
MACOX PLUS 150MG TABLET is a combination of two anti-tuberculosis drugs, namely: Rifampicin, and Isoniazid. Rifampicin inhibits DNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity in the bacteria. Isoniazid inhibits the biosynthesis of mycolic acid, which is the major component of the cell wall. Together, MACOX PLUS 150MG TABLET kills Mycobacterium tuberculosis which causes TB (tuberculosis).
In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, headache, weakness, muscle pain, heartburn, diarrhoea, gas, and numbness or tingling sensation. Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.
Consult your doctor before taking MACOX PLUS 150MG TABLET if you are pregnant or planning for pregnancy. Avoid breastfeeding while taking MACOX PLUS 150MG TABLET as it passes into breast milk. MACOX PLUS 150MG TABLET may cause dizziness, and vision problems, so drive only if you are alert. Avoid alcohol consumption while taking MACOX PLUS 150MG TABLET as it could lead to increased drowsiness, dizziness and liver damage.
