How it works:
Faq for medicine:
A: Pyz is an antibiotic. It is used in combination with other antibiotics in the treatment of tuberculosis
Q: Is Pyz bactericidal?
A: Pyz 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 Pyz work/treat tuberculosis?
A: Pyz kills or stops growth of bacteria that causes tuberculosis (Mycobacterium tuberculosis). The exact mechanism of action for Pyz is not known
Q: How does Pyz cause hyperuricemia and gout?
A: Following oral intake of Pyz, it gets converted in the body to pyrazinoic acid (active chemical form of Pyz). 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).
