Does cycloserine have serious side effects?

Cycloserine(Cycloserine) has relatively serious side effects, especially when used for a long time. The most common side effects are neurological problems, including headaches, anxiety, confusion, seizures and other symptoms. To avoid these adverse reactions, doctors usually strictly control the drug dosage in the early stages of treatment and conduct regular nervous system monitoring. If the patient develops severe psychiatric symptoms, the drug should be discontinued and managed immediately. In addition, cycloserine may also cause abnormal liver and kidney function, so during treatment, patients need to regularly check liver and kidney function to ensure that there is no serious organ damage. Although cycloserine plays an important role in the treatment of drug-resistant tuberculosis, its potential side effects require doctors to strictly control it during the treatment process.
