Quick tips
Mycodot-E Kit
- You have been prescribed MYCODOT-E KIT for the treatment of tuberculosis.
- Take it on an empty stomach and preferably at the same time everyday.
- Try not to forget a dose, as this increases the risk of the bacteria becoming resistant to the medicine, and also increases the risk of getting side effects.
- It may discolour your urine, sweat, saliva and tears a reddish/orange colour. This is normal and not harmful.
- Your doctor may check your liver function before starting treatment and regularly thereafter. Inform your doctor if you notice yellowing of eyes or skin, dark urine, or stomach pain.
- Avoid drinking alcohol while taking MYCODOT-E KIT as this may increase the risk of side effects on the liver.
- Use a reliable contraceptive method (such as condoms or a diaphragm) to prevent pregnancy while you are taking MYCODOT-E KIT as it may make hormonal contraceptives such as the pill less effective.
- Do not take indigestion remedies (antacids) within at least two hours of taking MYCODOT-E KIT.
- Finish the full course of the medication, even if you feel better. Stopping the course early increases the risk of coming back of the infection.
