Product Description

Ethambutol Hydrochloride is a first-line anti-TB drug used in combination therapy for the treatment of pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis. It is primarily used in fixed-dose combination (FDC) formulations with Rifampicin, Isoniazid, and Pyrazinamide.

How Ethambutol HCl Works

Ethambutol works by inhibiting arabinosyl transferase, an enzyme that is essential for building the mycobacterial cell wall. By stopping the incorporation of arabinose into arabinogalactan, it disrupts the cell wall synthesis, which weakens the bacteria. As a result, Ethambutol is bacteriostatic and mainly prevents the growth of actively dividing mycobacteria.

Use(s)

Pulmonary tuberculosis
Extrapulmonary tuberculosis
Included in first-line FDC anti-TB therapy

Adverse Effects

Optic neuritis
Rash, joint pain, headache
Hyperuricemia
