Myambutol represents an antibiotic that stops the tuberculous bacteria from developing. In conclusion, it is used in the treatment of tuberculosis. However, before starting to take Myambutol, people must report several things to their health care provider. The doctor must be informed if the patient has allergical reactions to Myambutol, cataracts, any kidney disease, diabetic retinopathy, or optic neuritis. The symptoms of these health conditions may get worse when using this drug. If there cannot be used an alternative medicine, then the doctor will adjust the dosage in order to prevent any severe adverse reaction. The scientists have not been able to tell if this drug is dangerous or not to a fetus or to a nursing baby. Because of this, pregnant and breast-feeding women must talk to a doctor before taking Myambutol.

Administration Instructions

Myambutol must be administered with the prescribed dosage at certain times of the day. Every dose must be administered with a glass of water. Regarding the food, it does not matter if the drug is taken before or after the meals. However, some doctors recommend taking this medicine while eating, in order to prevent any stomach problems. The symptoms of tuberculosis may disappear before the infection is entirely cured. Because of this, the patients are encouraged to continue the treatment even if they feel better. In the treatment of tuberculosis, Myambutol is not administered alone. It is taken along with either one or more other medicines. The drug must be kept at room temperature, in a place where moisture and heat are not present.

Managing Missed Doses and Overdoses

The skipped dose must be administered as soon as the patient remembers of it. If the time for the next dose is near, then only one of them must be administered. Taking two doses at the same time leads to overdose. The symptoms are not known, so people must look for emergency medical care if they take an overdose.

Side Effects of Myambutol

The most frequent side effects of Myambutol include vision changes, such as blurring or color blindness, allergic reactions such as breathlessness, swelling of the lips, face, and tongue, confusion, hallucinations, disorientation and fever. The other adverse reactions which include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, headaches, joint pain and mild dizziness are experienced seldom by the patients. However, when a patient experiences any of these adverse reactions, the doctor must be informed as soon as possible, in order to find a solution.
