General Description

2-[(2-chloroethyl)(ethyl)amino]-2H-1,4-benzothiazin-3(4H)-one, also known as ethionamide, is a synthetic antibiotic used to treat tuberculosis. It works by disrupting the formation of the bacterial cell wall, leading to the death of the bacteria. Ethionamide is typically used in combination with other tuberculosis medications and is often reserved for cases where the bacteria are resistant to other antibiotics. It is administered orally and can cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and liver problems. Ethionamide should be used with caution in patients with liver disease and should not be used in pregnant women or those with a history of severe adverse reactions to the drug.
