This combination drug is used for the treatment of active tuberculosis infection and is composed of rifampicin, pyrazinamide, ethambutol, and isoniazid. It is an essential, approved regimen in first-line tuberculosis therapy recommended by the WHO and many national tuberculosis programs. It targets Mycobacterium tuberculosis through multiple mechanisms: rifampicin inhibits RNA synthesis, isoniazid inhibits mycolic acid synthesis, pyrazinamide disrupts membrane energetics, and ethambutol interferes with cell wall synthesis.
Pharmacokinetics
Population pharmacokinetics in adult patients with pulmonary tuberculosis receiving fixed-dose combination tablets under directly observed therapy; mixed male and female, mean age around 38 years.
