About RCINEX Z TABLET

RCINEX Z TABLET belongs to the group of medicines called 'anti-tuberculosis drugs' primarily used to treat tuberculosis. Also known as TB, Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis that mainly affects the lungs, but it can also spread to other body parts such as kidneys, brain, spine, and bone marrow. RCINEX Z TABLET does not work against infections caused by the virus, including cold and flu.

RCINEX Z TABLET is a combination of three anti-tuberculosis drugs, namely: Rifampicin, Isoniazid and Pyrazinamide. Rifampicin inhibits DNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity in the bacteria. Isoniazid inhibits the biosynthesis of mycolic acid, which is the major component of the cell wall. Pyrazinamide inhibits the growth of the bacteria. Together, RCINEX Z TABLET kills Mycobacterium tuberculosis which causes TB (tuberculosis).

Take RCINEX Z TABLET as prescribed. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as weakness, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, and joint or muscle pain. Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.

Avoid foods and drinks containing histamine or tyramine, such as cured meat, matured cheese, soya, tuna, salmon, mackerel, wine, and beer, while taking RCINEX Z TABLET as they might cause interaction. Maintain a gap of one hour between RCINEX Z TABLET and antacid medicines. Consult your doctor before taking RCINEX Z TABLET if you are pregnant.
