Forecox Tablet
Forecox Tablet 6’s 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 kidneys, brain, spine, and bone marrow. Forecox Tablet 6’s does not work against infections caused by the virus, including cold and flu.
Forecox Tablet 6’s is a combination of four anti-tuberculosis drugs, namely: Rifampicin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol. Isoniazid works by preventing the TB bacteria (Mycobacterium tuberculosis) from forming their own protective covering, while rifampicin inactivates a bacterial enzyme (RNA-polymerase) which is required by TB bacteria (Mycobacterium tuberculosis) to make essential proteins and to reproduce. On the other hand Ethambutol and pyrazinamide work by slowing the growth of these bacteria. Altogether, they kill the bacteria and eradicate the infection.
Take Forecox Tablet 6’s 30minutes before food or 2hours after food. Swallow Forecox Tablet 6’s as a whole; do not crush or chew the tablet. Take Forecox Tablet 6’s daily at the same time to ensure better efficacy. The dose and duration of Forecox Tablet 6’s can vary depending upon your condition and severity of the infection. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as weakness, nausea, vomiting, malaise (feeling of discomfort), fatigue and vision problems. 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.
Do not stop taking Forecox Tablet 6’s despite symptomatic relief. To treat your condition effectually, continue taking Forecox Tablet 6’s for as long as it has been prescribed for you. Avoid foods and drinks containing histamine or tyramine such as cured meat, matured cheese, soya, tuna, salmon, mackerel, wine, and beer while taking Forecox Tablet 6’s as they might cause interaction. Maintain a gap of one hour between Forecox Tablet 6’s and antacid medicines. Consult your doctor before taking Forecox Tablet 6’s if you are pregnant. Avoid breastfeeding while taking Forecox Tablet 6’s as it passes into breast milk. Forecox Tablet 6’s is not recommended for use in children.
