Q: Does Mycobutol cause blindness?
A: Optic neuritis (inflammation of nerve fibers that transmit visual information from your eye to the brain) is one of the side effects of Mycobutol which causes several forms of eye defect. Although these conditions are reversible upon discontinuation of the drug, rare cases of irreversible blindness have also been reported. Please contact your doctor immediately if you notice any of these symptoms decreased clearness of vision, loss of vision, disturbed vision due to blind spots, color blindness, visual field defect and eye pain

Q: Does Mycobutol induce hyperuricemia/how does Mycobutol induce hyperuricemia?
A: Yes. Increase in blood levels of uric acid is a side effect of Mycobutol. It increases the retention of uric acid in the body by decreasing the excretion of urates (uric acid) by the kidneys

Q: How does Mycobutol work in the body?
A: Mycobutol is an antibiotic effective against tuberculosis causing bacteria. It suppresses the growth of the bacteria by interfering with the formation of the outer protective covering (cell wall) of the bacteria, thereby weakening the bacteria

Q: What is Mycobutol toxicity/How does Mycobutol cause optic neuritis/how does Mycobutol affect vision?
A: Mycobutol toxicity involves toxic effects on the eyes (optic neuritis/optic neuropathy) which are related to the dose and duration of Mycobutol treatment. It causes optic neuritis (inflammation of nerve fibers in the eye) by interfering with important cellular activities (mitochondrial toxicity) in the nerve cells and inducing nerve damage (neuropathy) thereby affecting the transmission of visual information from the eye to brain. The symptoms of Mycobutol induced optic neuritis include decreased clearness of vision, loss of vision, disturbed vision due to blind spots, color blindness, visual field defect and eye pain

Q: What does Mycobutol treat?

Q: Is Mycobutol bacteriostatic or bactericidal?
A: Mycobutol is both a bacteriostatic and a bactericidal antibiotic. It suppresses the growth of bacteria (bacteriostatic) by interfering with the formation of the outer protective covering (cell wall) of the bacteria, thereby weakening it and causing cell death in certain cases (bactericidal)

Q: Is Mycobutol hepatotoxic?
A: Liver toxicities are among the known side effects of Mycobutol. Inflammation of liver (hepatitis), abnormal liver function causing yellowing of skin and eyes (jaundice), abnormal liver function tests (blood tests to assess health of liver) and very rarely liver failure have been noted in patients receiving multi drug (including Mycobutol) treatment for tuberculosis. Please contact your doctor before taking Mycobutol if you have any liver problems

Q: Is Mycobutol toxicity reversible?
A: In most cases Mycobutol toxicities are related to dose (depends upon the quantity of Mycobutol you take) and duration of treatment and are reversible upon discontinuation. However, serious irreversible damage to eye and liver has been reported in rare cases

Q: Is Mycobutol chemotherapy?
A: Mycobutol is an antibiotic used in the treatment of tuberculosis. Do not confuse it with chemotherapy or chemo drugs used for the treatment of cancer

Q: Mycobutol is effective against?
