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