SOLONEX DT 100MG TABLET

SOLONEX DT 100MG TABLET belongs to the group of medicines called anti-tubercular agents primarily used to treat and prevent tuberculosis (TB). Tuberculosis is an infectious bacterial disease that mainly affects the lungs, but it can also spread to other body parts such as the kidneys, brain, spine, and bone marrow. SOLONEX DT 100MG TABLET does not work against infections caused by the virus.
