Antitubercular

Antitubercular medications are drugs that are used to treat tuberculosis (TB). Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis that typically affects the lungs, but can also affect other parts of the body. Antitubercular medications are prescribed to kill the bacteria that cause the infection, reduce the symptoms of TB, and prevent the spread of the disease. The most commonly used antitubercular medications are isoniazid, rifampin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol. These drugs work by inhibiting the growth of the bacteria and preventing them from reproducing. Additionally, they may help to reduce inflammation in the lungs and other affected areas. Antitubercular medications must be taken as prescribed and for the full course of treatment in order to be effective.
