Is Mycodeep S 360mg Tablet DR a steroid or a chemotherapy drug? Can it cause hair loss?

Mycodeep S 360mg Tablet DR is neither a steroid nor a chemotherapy medicine.

Do I need any special tests while taking Mycodeep S 360mg Tablet DR?

Since Mycodeep S 360mg Tablet DR can affect blood count and affect the kidneys and liver, your doctor will ask you to have a blood test before you start the treatment.

My doctor has asked me to stay away from a person who has chicken pox or shingles. Why?

Mycodeep S 360mg Tablet DR is an immunosuppressant, which means that it decreases the activity of the immune system. Since your immune system is already weak, if you come in contact with a patient of chicken pox or shingles, you may develop it too. This is the reason that your doctor has advised you to be cautious. Therefore, follow your doctor’s advice and contact your doctor immediately if you get chicken pox or shingles as you may require special treatment.
