trecator-Sc Uses Trecator-Sc is used to treat tuberculosis in combination with other anti-tuberculosis drugs. Storage Store at room temperature at approximately 77 degrees F (25 degrees C) away from light and moisture. Overdose If overdose is suspected, contact your local poison control center or emergency room immediately. How To Use Take by mouth exactly as directed, from one to three times per day for a minimum of 6 months. Follow your medication label instructions. Antibiotics work best when the amount of medicine in your body is kept at a constant level. Do this by taking the medication at evenly spaced intervals throughout the day and night.

Stopping the medication too early will allow bacteria to continue to grow resulting in a relapse of the infection. Refill your prescription as directed. Consult your pharmacist. It is recommended to take pyridoxine (vitamin B6) along with Trecator-Sc. Ask your doctor or pharmacist about this. Side Effects Nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, drowsiness, dizziness or metallic taste might occur. If these persist or worsen, notify your doctor promptly. Changing the time of the dosage may relieve some side effects. Unlikely but report promptly: depression.
