Myambutol comes as a tablet medication that is taken orally with or without food as directed by your doctor, usually once daily. In some cases, the tablet may be taken twice weekly. Follow your doctor’s instructions precisely, and the dosage will depend on several factors such as age, weight, medical condition, and response to treatment.
If you take antacids that contain aluminum, you should take Myambutol at least four hours before taking the antacid to avoid any negative interactions.
To ensure the best results, take this medication at even intervals throughout the day. You can keep track of your dosage by taking the medication at the same time(s) every day.
Continue taking Myambutol (and any other TB medication you’ve been prescribed) until the full prescribed amount is finished, even if your symptoms disappear. Stopping the medication too early or skipping doses may allow the bacteria to continue to grow, which can lead to a return of the infection and can make it more challenging to treat (resistant).
