What should you pay attention to when using cycloserine to treat tuberculosis?

Cycloserine(Cycloserine) is a drug used to treat drug-resistant tuberculosis, especially patients with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). Although it has a strong inhibitory effect on tuberculosis branching and ladling, special care is required when using it. Cycloserine may have effects on the central nervous system, causing dizziness, drowsiness, anxiety, or changes in mental status in patients. Therefore, patients should avoid operating heavy machinery or engaging in activities that require a high degree of concentration during treatment with cycloserine to ensure safety. In addition, the use of cycloserine needs to be adjusted according to the patient's drug resistance and severity of the disease. For highly drug-resistant TB strains, cycloserine may need to be used in combination with other drugs.
