Pharm - TB Flashcards
MOA isoniazid
Inhibits mycolic acid synthesis
AE isoniazid
- Hepatitis
- Inhibit CYP450
- Peripheral neuropathy
Interactions INH
- Aluminum antacids decrease absorption
- Inhibits cortisol metabolism
- GC’s decrease INH blood levels
What supplementation should to be given to pt on INH?
B6/pyridoxine = competes with pyridoxal phosphate, causing peripheral neuropathy
MOA rifampin
Inhibits DNA-dep RNA polymerase by binding Beta-subunit
AE rifampin
- Rust colored bodily fluids
2. CYP450 induction
Interactions rifampin
Probenecid increases rifampin levels; important since EMB and PZA can cause hyperuricemia so TB pt likely to need gout meds
MOA ethambutol
Inhibits arabinosyl transferase = inhibits cell wall synthesis
AE EMB
- Optic neuritis
2. Hyperuricemia
Interactions EMB
Aluminum antacids decrease EMB absorption
MOA pyrazinamide
Converted to pyrazinoic acid, decreasing pH below what is favorable for growth of TB
AE pyrazinamide
- Hepatitis
- Hyperuricemia
- Myaglia
MOA cycloserine
Analog of D-ala; inhibits L-ala racemase and D-ala synthetase
AE cycloserine
- Suicidal ideations
- Seizures
- Depression
CI cycloserine
Epilepsy
