Rifampicin..............................................450

1 Tab of Ethambutol............................................800

mg
Indications :
Rifampicin, Ethambutol, Isoniazid, Pyrazinamide and
Streptomycin are used in medication and management of
Tuberculosis.
Description:
Rifampicin inhibits DNA-dependent
RNA polymerase
in bacterial cells by binding its beta subunit, thus
preventing transcription of
messenger RNA
(mRNA) and subsequent translation to proteins.
Ethambutol is a synthetic, bacteriostatic antitubercular
agent. Ethambutol diffuses into actively growing
mycobacteria cells such as tubercle bacilli . It appears
to inhibit the synthesis of one or more metabolites,
thus impairing cell metabolism, arresting
multiplication, and resulting in cell death.
INH is thought to work through its effects
on lipids (fats) and DNA within the tuberculosis
bacterium.
Dosage:
Adults: (below 50 kg) : 450 mg daily as a single dose.
