How to take cycloserine

Before you start the treatment, read the manufacturer's printed information leaflet from inside the pack. It will give you more information about cycloserine and will provide you with a full list of the side-effects which you could experience from taking it.
Take the capsules exactly as your doctor tells you to. As a guide, the usual dose to begin with in adults is one capsule twice a day, taken 12 hours apart (morning and evening). After two weeks, your dose may be increased to two capsules twice a day, depending on the result of a blood test.
Try to take your doses of cycloserine at the same times of day each day, as this will help you to remember to take your doses regularly. You can take the capsules either with or without food.
If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember. Try to take the correct number of doses each day, but do not take two doses at the same time to make up for a missed dose.
