Ethide 250 mg Tablet

Ethide 250 mg Tablet
Product Description

Ethide 250 mg Tablet is an antibiotic medicine used in the treatment of tuberculosis (TB), an infectious disease that primarily affects the lungs but may also spread to other parts of the body. This medicine contains Ethionamide, a bactericidal agent that works by stopping the growth and multiplication of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacteria responsible for TB.

Ethide 250 mg Tablet is never prescribed as a single therapy. It is always used in combination with other anti-tuberculosis medicines to effectively control resistant strains of TB and prevent the spread of infection.

Effective in treating drug-resistant TB cases (when standard medicines like rifampin or isoniazid are not effective)

Supports faster recovery when combined with proper diet, rest, and lifestyle care

Usage Instructions

Take Ethide 250 mg Tablet with or without food, exactly as advised by your doctor.
