Q

Interactions rifampin

A

Probenecid increases rifampin levels; important since EMB and PZA can cause hyperuricemia so TB pt likely to need gout meds

17
Q

AE ethionamide

A
  1. GI
  2. Neuro
  3. Hepatotoxicity
18
Q

What supplementation should be given with ethionamide?

A

19
Q

MOA capreomycin

A

Unknown

20
Q

AE capreomycin

A
  1. Nephrotoxicity

2. Ototoxicity

21
Q

Which TB drug can be used alone?

A

Ethionamide

22
Q

Which TB drugs require concomitant B6?

A

INH and ethionamide

23
Q

Which TB drugs cross CSF and placenta?

A

INH, EMB, PZA, cycloserine

24
Q

Which TB drugs should you avoid with antacids?

A

INH, EMB

25
Q

Which TB drugs are both bacteriocidal and bacteriostatic?

A

INH
PZA
Cycloserine
Ethionamide

26
Q

Only bacteriocidal?

A

RIF

27
Q

Only bacteriostatic?

A

EMB

Capreomycin

28
Q

Rifampin vs. rifapentine

A

Rifapentine has longer T1/2 = once weekly dosing

Also less induction of CYP450

29
Q

Rifampin v. rifabutin

A

Rifabutin has least induction of CYP of the rafamycins

30
Q

Which TB drug is N-acetylated?

A

INH

31
Q

Resistance to RIF develops because of:

A

Change in beta-subunit of DNA-dep RNA polymerase

32
Q

Which TB drug necessitates back up birth control?

A

RIF (remember it INDUCES CYP450 = lower OC blood levels)

33
Q

Active TB must be treated for a minimum of:

A

24 weeks

34
Q

Latent vs. active TB tx

A
Latent = 3 months of INH + rifapentine
Active = 24 weeks of RIPE or RIPS
35
Q

What is CI for tx of LTBI?

A

RIF + PZA due to liver toxicity
