How it works:
Faq for medicine:
A: Actizid is an antibiotic. It is used in combination with other antibiotics in the treatment of tuberculosis
Q: Is Actizid bactericidal?
A: Actizid is both a bacteriostatic and a bactericidal antibiotic. It stops the growth of bacteria (bacteriostatic) in certain cases and kills (bactericidal) the tuberculosis causing bacteria in other cases
Q: How does Actizid work/treat tuberculosis?
A: Actizid kills or stops growth of bacteria that causes tuberculosis (Mycobacterium tuberculosis). The exact mechanism of action for Actizid is not known
Q: How does Actizid cause hyperuricemia and gout?
A: Following oral intake of Actizid, it gets converted in the body to pyrazinoic acid (active chemical form of Actizid). Pyrazinoic acid blocks the excretion of urates (salt form of uric acid) by the kidneys. This causes an increase in blood levels of uric acid (hyperuricemia). Excess uric acid accumulation between joints causes pain, swelling, redness and stiffness in joints (gout).
