Isoniazid MOA
Bactericidal against active TB
Bacteriostatic against dormant TB
Isoniazid Use
Latent TB
Active TB 1st line
Isoniazid A/E
Peripheral neuropathy (from B6 deficiency) -MC N/D Dizziness Optic neuritis Seizures
Isoniazid Pt edu
Take Vit B6 (pyridoxine) to prevent peripheral neuropathy
Limit alcohol intake
Can develop resistance
Isoniazid Toxicity
Hepatotoxic
-monitor for anorexia, malaise, yellowing of eye
may need to stop drug
Isoniazid Monitoring
SxS of hepatotoxicity
LFTs
Monthly
Direct observation therapy
Administration of each dose is carried out in the presence of an observer
By the Health department
Preferred
Intermittent Dosing
Can be done at home 2-3 times a week dosing Larger doses but less frequently No additional risk for A/E As effective as daily dosing
Latent TB Standard Tx
Isoniazid daily for 9mo - self administered
Latent TB Tx for allergy to Rifampin
Isoniazid and Rifapentine once weekly for 3 mo
DOT
Not safe for everyone
Active TB Induction phase
Eliminate actively dividing extracellular TB
Rifampin, Isoniazid, Ethambutol, Pyrazinamide x2mo
Active TB Continuation phase
Eliminate intracellular “persisters”
Rifampin and Isoniazid x4.5 mo
May last longer
Drug resistant TB
Inherent resistance, Development of resistance during tx, Inadequate drug therapy
Tx can be up to 24 mo
TB Tx Goal
Cure, prevent spread to others
Rifampin MOA
Suppresses RNA synthesis and protein synthesis
Inhibits bacterial DNA- dependent RNA polymerase
Rifampin Use
Broadspectrum abx
1st line Active Tb
Kills active and semi-dormant TB
Rifampin Drug interactions
CYP3A4 Warfarin PO BC Protease inhibitors NNRTI -All decrease effect of Rifampin
Rifampin A/E
Red-orange body fluids (every body fluid, wear glasses because it will stain contacts)
N/V/D
Flu-like symptoms
Pruritus
Rifampin Toxicity
Hepatotoxicity
Rifampin Pt edu
Use barrier method of sexual protection
Rifampin Monitoring
Drug resistance
LFTs
Pyrazinamide Use
1st line Active TB
Pyrazinamide A/E
Non Gouty polyarthralgias
N/V/D
Rash
Pyrazinamide Toxicity
Hepatotoxic
