Uses of Bioral 50mg Capsule

Bioral 50mg Capsule is used together with other anti-TB medicines to treat multidrug-resistant and other drug-resistant tuberculosis, when standard TB treatment is not suitable or has not worked.

How Bioral 50mg Capsule works

Cycloserine blocks enzymes that bacteria need to build their cell walls. Without a strong cell wall, the TB bacteria cannot grow and multiply, and other medicines in the regimen can work more effectively.
