About Solonex Tablet 10's

Solonex Tablet 10's belongs to the group of medicines called anti-tubercular agents primarily used to treat and prevent tuberculosis (TB).

Solonex Tablet 10's does not work against infections caused by the virus.

Solonex Tablet 10's 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, Solonex Tablet 10's inhibits the spread of infection by acting against the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which causes tuberculosis.
