()
3-5 mg/kg (max= 300 mg/day)
cerebrospinal, ascitic, pleural fluids, placenta
barrier, milk
Metabolized: acetylation (determine by acetylator
status), dehydrazination
Excreted in the urine
Rifampicin: warning/precaution
Rifampicin
RNA -subunit
RNA polymerase
Metabolized by deacetylation
Elimination mainly through the bile, to a much lesser
extent, the urine (dosage adjustment is not necessary)
Pregnancy category C
Excreted in breast milk
Pyrazinamide
Ethambutol
MOA: inhibition of
arabinosyl transferase
(enzyme that polymerizes arabinose into
arabinan and then arabinogalactan, a
mycobacterial cell wall constituent )
Approximately 20%
of ethambutol is metabolized
by liver
Pyrazinamide
Pregnancy category C
Lactation: found in small amounts in breast milk.
Hyperuricemia: PZA inhibits renal excretion of
urates, frequently resulting in hyperuricemia
(usually asymptomatic)
Ethambutol
Excretion:
- unchanged drug is excreted
approximately 50% in the urine,
20-22% in the feces
Marked accumulation may occur with renal
insufficiency
Patients with decreased renal
function require reduced dosage
Ethambutol
Streptomycin
Pregnancy category B
Visual effects
(especially in higher dose; 18% with dose > 30
mg/kg/day ) generally reversible when the drug is
discontinued
Hepatotoxicity
Cutaneous ADRs (skin
rash with or without
itching)
Ototoxicity
Visual impairment
Minor ADRs
Anorexia
Nausea/vomiting
Abdominal pain
Joint pains
Peripheral neuropathy
(burning, numbness or
tingling sensation in
hands or feet)
Drowsiness
Streptomycin is a protein
synthesis inhibitor
Excrete unchanged by the kidney
Main ADRs
- hypersensitivity reaction
- ototoxicity (especially baby, patients age more
than 40 years)
- nephrotoxicty

Case report
A 45 year-old pulmonary TB patient was started with
PZA (1500), RIF (600), INH (300)
After 12 days, she developed a measles-like rash,
arthralgia
All anti-TB were stopped
First rechallenge with PZA (500 mg), no reaction
Then, rechallenge with RIF (150 mg)
After 3 hrs later after RIF, pruritis, urticaria,
angioedema, chest heaviness, shortness of breath
developed
RIF was stopped & treated with EPI, DIP

urticaria, angioedema developed, then all drugs were
stopped
INH (100) was restarted, generalized pruritis was
developed
She was referred for evaluation and possible
