Antituberculosis agents
What are Antituberculosis agents?
Antitubercular medications: rifampin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol are FDA approved to treat Mycobacterium tuberculosis infections. Antitubercular medications are a group of drugs used to treat tuberculosis.
The current standard WHO‐approved regimen consists of isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol (HRZE) for two months (intensive phase), followed by isoniazid and rifampicin with ethambutol (HRE) in areas of high resistance, or without ethambutol (HR) for four months (continuation phase) (WHO 2010).
