As a result, the bacteria become resistant to the antibiotic being used for treatment. Tickline Syrup is effective in treating MDR tuberculosis and Extensively Drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB). Tickline Syrup is not the first medicine that the doctor gives to treat tuberculosis. It is given only if the child suffers from resistant-tubercular infection.

It is used to treat many different types of bacterial infections such as infections of lungs (pneumonia), skin, and soft tissues.
