    3D structure Rifampicin/isoniazid/pyrazinamide

    Rifampicin/isoniazid/pyrazinamide, also known as rifampin/isoniazid/pyrazinamide, and sold under the trade name Rifater, is a medication used to treat tuberculosis.[1] It is a fixed dose combinationofrifampicin, isoniazid, and pyrazinamide.[1] It is used either by itself or along with other antituberculosis medication.[1] It is taken by mouth.[1]

    Side effects are those of the underlying medications.[1] These may include poor coordination, loss of appetite, nausea, joint pain, feeling tired, and numbness.[2] Severe side effects include liver problems.[3] Use in those under the age of 15 may not be appropriate.[3] It is unclear if use in pregnancy is safe for the baby.[3]

    Rifampicin/isoniazid/pyrazinamide was approved for medical use in the United States in 1994.[3] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.[4]

    Medical uses

    [edit]

    The hope of a fixed-dose combination pill is to increase the likelihood that people will take all of three medications.[5] Also, if people forget to take one or two of their drugs, they might not then develop resistance to the remaining drugs.[citation needed]

    Society and culture

    [edit]
