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