    J.04.A.M.02   Isoniazid in combination with rifampicin

    Pharmacodynamics:

    Combined anti-tuberculosis drug.

    Isoniazid

    Inhibits the enzymes necessary for the synthesis of mycolic acids, which are the main structural fragments of the cell walls of mycobacterium tuberculosis.

    The most intensive synthesis of mycolic acids is carried out in growing cells, so isoniazid has a bactericidal action on them, and bacteriostatic action on mature cells.

    The high selectivity of the chemotherapeutic effect of isoniazid is due to the fact that there are no mycolic acids in the tissues of the macroorganism, as well as in other microorganisms.

    Rifampicin

    Semisynthetic antibacterial agent of bactericidal action. Selectively inhibits the DNA-dependent RNA polymerase of mycobacterium tuberculosis and leprosy.

    Pyridoxine

    Vitamin B6. In the body, phosphorylation is converted to pyridoxal-5-phosphate, which is part of the enzymes involved in decarboxylation, transamination and racemization of amino acids.Prevents the development of peripheral polyneuropathy, which develops due to the impact of anti-tuberculosis drugs.

    Pharmacokinetics:

    Isoniazid

    After oral administration, the empty stomach is completely absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract. The maximum concentration in blood plasma is achieved in 1-4 hours. The connection with plasma proteins is from 1 to 10%.

    Therapeutic effect develops after the reception. Metabolism in the liver by acetylation to inactive metabolites, penetrates the placental barrier, is excreted in breast milk.

    The rate of acetylation of the drug is genetically determined, so the half-life of isoniazid varies. Half-life for "fast acetylators" is 1 hour, for "slow acetylators" - 3 hours. Elimination by the kidneys.

    Rifampicin

    After oral administration, up to 98% is absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract. The maximum concentration in the blood plasma is achieved in 2-3 hours. The connection with plasma proteins is 84-91%.

    Metabolism in the liver. Penetrates through blood-brain and placental barriers, excreted in breast milk.

    The half-life is 2.5-5 hours. Elimination with feces and kidneys.

    Pyridoxine

    After oral administration, the empty stomach is completely absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract. The maximum concentration in the blood plasma is reached after 2 hours. The connection with plasma proteins is 90%.

    Metabolism in the liver. Penetrates through the placenta, found in breast milk.

    The half-life is 15-20 days. Elimination by the kidneys. It is deduced by hemodialysis.

    Indications:

    It is used to treat tuberculosis of any location. Used for leprosy, bronchitis, pneumonia, osteomyelitis, gonorrhea, infections of the biliary and urinary tract.
