Ppt on antitubercular drug
1. ANTITUBERCULAR DRUGS
Introduction (tuberculosis)
• Tuberculosis is a chronic granulomatous disease caused by
mycobacterium tuberculosis.
• It is a major public health problem ; 5 lakhs people die in india
every year due to this disease .after the spread of AIDS ,the
problem has become more complex ,as tuberculosis and
mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) infection are more
common and rapidly progress in these patients.
2. ❑ DRUGS USED IN TUBERCULOSIS
❖ First line drugs
1. Isoniazid
2. Rifampicin
3. Pyrazinamide
4. Ethambutol
5. Streptomycin
❖ second lline drugs
1. Ethionamide
2. Amikacin
3. Ciprofloxacin
4. Rifabutin
5. Kanamycin
6. Rifapentine
7. Bedaquiline
8. cycoserine
3. FIRST LINE DRUGS
❑ Isoniazid
✓ Isoniazid is the most effective and cheapest primary antitubercular drug.
✓ It is tuberculocidal for rapidly multiplying bacilli but static for resting bacilli.
✓ Isoniazid destroys intracellular bacilli as it penetrates in to the cells ,i.e tubercle bacilli in macrophages
❖ Mechanism of action
INH
enters mycobecteria
active form and bind enzymes
decrease mycolic acid synthesis then cell wall weak
tuberculocidal
6. ❑ SECOND LINE DRUGS
❖Thiacetazone
➢ Thiacetazone is tuberculostatic with low efficacy;it delays the development of
resistance to other drugs and its low cost makes it a suitable drug in combination
regiments.
▪ Side effects
➢ Hepatotoxicity
➢ Dermatitis
➢ Allergic reactions
➢ Gastrointestinal discomfort
❖ Ethionamide
➢ This tuberculostic drug is effective against both intra and extracellular organism.
➢ It is also effective in atypical mycobacteria .
➢ Anorexia, nausea,vomiting ,hepatitis, skin rashes and peripheral neuritis.
7. ❑ TREATMENT OF TUBERCULOSIS
➢ Tuberclosis is one of the most difficult infections to cure .
➢ The properties of the mycobacterium like slow division, development of resistance ,ability
to remain as persisters for years and intracellular location of the bacilli have enhanced
the problem.
➢ The aim of treatment is to kill the dividing bacilli thus making the patient sputum negative
and to destroy the persister in order to prevent relapse and ensure complete cure.
A combination of drugs is used in tuberculosis to;
❖ Delay the development of resistance
❖ Reduce toxicity
❖ Shorten the course of treatment
8. ❑ CHEMOTHERAPY IS GIVEN IN TWO
PHASES:
❖ First phase – initial,intensive phase of 2-3 months duration aimed at killing as many
bacilli as possible
❖ Second phase – continuation phase to destroy the persisters duration 4-5 months
short-term therapy has rapid response,lower failure rates lesser chances of
resistance and better patient compliance.
9. ❑ REVISED NATIONAL TUBERCULOSIS
CONTROL PROGRAM
➢ The govt of India along with the WHO and world bank has reviewed national TB program
and has now the revised the strategy as Revised National tuberculosis control program
(RNTCP)
.
❑Directly obserbed treatment short course
(DOTS)chemotherapy
➢ In India , it is implemented by the RNTCP.
➢ It involves providing most effective medicine and confirming that it is taken- a health
worker ensures that the drug is taken by the patient.
