Bqnat 100mg Tablet

Description

Introduction To Bqnat 100mg Tablet:

Bqnat 100mg Tablet (Bedaquiline) is an antibiotic used in combination with other medicines to treat multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) affecting the lungs — a serious infection that cannot be treated with the antibiotics usually used for standard tuberculosis. It belongs to a class of medications called anti-mycobacterials and is used in adults and children aged 5 years and older who weigh at least 15 kg. It should not be used to treat TB that mainly affects parts of the body other than the lungs.

This tablet should be taken by mouth with water, usually with food. Treatment typically follows a specific schedule — once daily for an initial period, followed by a reduced frequency for the remainder of the course, as prescribed by your doctor. Always take it at the same time of day and follow your prescription label carefully. Do not take more, less, or more often than prescribed.

Uses Of Bqnat 100mg Tablet:

• Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) affecting the lungs

Benefits Of Bqnat 100mg Tablet:

This tablet works alongside at least three other medications to treat MDR-TB effectively. It helps control and eliminate infections caused by bacteria resistant to standard TB antibiotics, improving treatment outcomes for patients with this serious condition. Completing the full prescribed course, without skipping doses, is essential — stopping too early can allow the infection to persist and increases the risk of further antibiotic resistance.

To support adherence, some patients participate in a directly observed therapy program, where a healthcare worker administers each dose and confirms it has been swallowed correctly.
