Usage

General Description

Pyrazinamide, also known as 6-methoxy-3-(methoxymethyl)-5-methyl-, is a medication used in the treatment of tuberculosis. It is a pyrazine derivative that works by disrupting the metabolism of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacteria that causes the disease. Pyrazinamide is typically taken in combination with other antibiotics for tuberculosis treatment, and it is primarily used for the treatment of active, drug-susceptible tuberculosis. The medication is available in oral form and is generally well-tolerated, with commonly reported side effects including nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.
