06Benefits
In Treatment of Resistant Tuberculosis (TB)
In multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis, the causative bacteria produce an enzyme that makes the antibiotics ineffective. As a result, the bacteria become resistant to the antibiotic being used for treatment. Adyzolid 100mg Oral Suspension is effective in treating MDR tuberculosis and Extensively Drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB). Adyzolid 100mg Oral Suspension is not the first medicine that the doctor gives to treat tuberculosis. It is given only if the child suffers from resistant-tubercular infection.
In Treatment of Severe bacterial infections
Adyzolid 100mg Oral Suspension works by killing bacteria which can cause serious infections. It is used to treat many different types of bacterial infections such as infections of lungs (pneumonia), skin, and soft tissues. This medicine usually makes you feel better very quickly but you should continue taking it as prescribed even when you feel better to make sure that all bacteria are killed and do not become resistant.show moreshow less
