Cyclorine Capsule- Introduction

Cyclorine in Cyclorine 250 is recommended for the treatment of active pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis, including renal illness when the major drugs such as streptomycin, isoniazid, rifampicin, and ethambutol have not been effective in treating the pathogens.
It might be useful in treating acute urinary tract infections brought on by sensitive Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains (particularly Escherichia coli and Klebsiella/Enterobacter species).

Note: Cycloserine, like all anti-tuberculous medications, should not be used as the only treatment agent; rather, it should be used in concert with other efficacious therapies.
