3 Sachet Orange Flavour Sachet contains Ethambutol 825 mg, Isoniazid 225 mg, and Rifampicin 450 mg, a combination of first-line anti-tuberculosis medicines used to treat active tuberculosis (TB). Rifampicin rapidly kills actively multiplying TB bacteria by inhibiting bacterial RNA synthesis. Isoniazid destroys TB bacteria by blocking the production of mycolic acids, essential components of the bacterial cell wall, making it one of the most effective anti-TB medicines. Ethambutol inhibits bacterial cell wall formation and helps prevent the emergence of drug-resistant bacteria when used in combination therapy.
Together, these medicines attack Mycobacterium tuberculosis through different mechanisms, improving bacterial eradication and reducing the likelihood of treatment failure. Strict adherence to the complete treatment regimen is essential to prevent relapse and multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. During therapy, patients require regular monitoring of liver function, vision, and treatment response. Maintaining good nutrition and attending all follow-up appointments further improves treatment outcomes.
Precaution
- Use only under medical supervision.
- Inform your doctor if you have liver disease, kidney disease, diabetes, gout, HIV infection, vision problems, or a history of alcohol misuse.
- Regular liver function tests and eye examinations (especially with Ethambutol) may be required during treatment.
- Avoid alcohol, as it increases the risk of liver damage.
- Rifampicin can reduce the effectiveness of many medicines, including oral contraceptives, anticoagulants, and certain HIV medicines. Inform your doctor about all medications you are taking.
- Rifampicin may cause orange-red discoloration of urine, tears, saliva, and sweat, which is harmless but may permanently stain soft contact lenses.
- Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding.
