Myambutol

Product Description

Common use
Myambutol is used for treating tuberculosis (TB) infections of the lung along with other medicines. Myambutol is an antibacterial agent. It works by stopping the growth of TB cells, which results in cell death.

Take Myambutol with or without food at the same time each day.
Do not take antacids containing aluminum hydroxide for at least 4 hours after taking Myambutol.
If you miss a dose of Myambutol, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.
Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Myambutol.

Important safety information:
Myambutol may cause dizziness. Do not drive, operate machinery, or do anything else that could be dangerous until you know how you react to Myambutol. Using Myambutol alone, with certain other medicines, or with alcohol may lessen your ability to drive or perform other potentially dangerous tasks.
It is important to use Myambutol for the full course of treatment. Failure to do so may decrease the effectiveness of Myambutol and increase the risk that the bacteria will no longer be sensitive to Myambutol and will not be able to be treated by this or certain other antibiotics in the future.
Myambutol is effective only against certain types of bacteria. It is not effective for treating viral infections (eg, the common cold).
Long-term or repeated use of Myambutol may cause a second infection. Your doctor may want to change your medicine to treat the second infection. Contact your doctor if signs of a second infection occur.
Lab tests, including liver and kidney function tests, complete blood cell counts, and vision tests, may be performed to monitor your progress or to check for side effects. Be sure to keep all doctor and lab appointments.
Myambutol should not be used in children younger 13 years. Safety and effectiveness in this age group have not been confirmed.
Pregnancy and breast-feeding: If you become pregnant, discuss with your doctor the benefits and risks of using Myambutol during pregnancy. Myambutol is excreted in breast milk. If you are or will be breast-feeding while you are using Myambutol, check with your doctor or pharmacist to discuss the risks to your baby.
