• Tuberculosis drugs are administered in combination, therefore it is difficult to determine which drug is toxic.
• In addition there can be adverse effects due to the combination therapy.
• Management of adverse effects :If drugs are not administered properly resistance to drugs can occur.If drugs are not stopped in time the consequences can be life threatening.

Risk factors for side effects• Advanced age• Malnutrition• Pregnancy,nursing• Alcolism• Liver failure• Chronic renal failure• HIV infection
• Disseminated TB• Atopy• Anemia• D. Mellitus• İnterrupted TB
therapy• Familiy history• Additional drug use

Isoniazid (H)
• H was synthesized in 1912, and was rediscovered for TB treatment since 1952.
• It is taken orally, is cheap and good tolerable.• It inhibits the mycolic acid synthesis of the cell
wall.• After taken on empty stomach high serum
concentrations are achieved in 1-2 hours. It penetrates into cerebrospinal fluid.
9
Isoniazid
• H is used for preventive therapy.
• The elimination of H is determined by the acetylator status of the patient. Genetically there are slow and rapid inactivators.
• H is metabolized in liver and excreted in urine
10
Side effects of Isoniazid
• Hepatotoxicity: Risk is highest in the first 2 months of treatment. It is very rare under age 20. Daily alcohol consumption increases the risk of hepatotoxicity.If AST level is 5 times more than the upper limit of normal drugs are stopped.
• Peripheral neuropathy: Daily dosage up to 300 mg does not cause neuropaty . Preventive treatment with small dosages ( max. 10-15 mg) of pyridoxine is recommended.
Pregnancy,alcoholism, advanced age, seizures, uremia and diabetes are risk factors and indicate for preventive therapy.
11
Side effects of Isoniazid• Seizures, hallucinosis, psychosis, optic
neuropathy,• Hypersensitivity reactions: Drug fever,
asthma, dermatitis, Stevens Johnson syndrome, hematologic disorders (hemolytic anemia,agranulocytosis etc.), vasculitis
• Lupus like syndrome, alopecia,monoamine poisoning
12
Rifampicin(R)
• R is a semisynthetic, bactericidal drug used since 1966 clinically. R inhibits the synthesis of mRNA by binding to the RNA polymerase.
• After oral intake on empty stomach its absorption is rapid and excellent. R penetrates all body fluids well.
• R is metabolized in liver , excreted in bile and urine. • Its metabolites color urine, tears, sweat (red).)Patients
using contact lenses should be told.
13
Side effects of rifampicinSide effects of rifampicin
• Mild elevation of serum bilirubin and liver enzymes in the first week of treatment
• Hepatotoxicity• Flu-like syndrome: Symptoms like malaise, arthralgia,
fever. It occurs when higher doses are implemented.• Pruritus and drug fever• Hypersensitivity reactions: Acute renal failure,
thrombocytopenic purpura, hemolytic anemia, anaphylactic shock,
• Toxic epidermal necrosis, pseudomembranous colitis, amenorrhea, myopathy
14
15
Pyrazinamide (Z)• Analog of nicotinamide.• The active derivate of Z is pyrazinoic acid.It is
bactericidal against intracellularly growing bacteria.
• It is an important drug for the initial phase of treatment because of its sterilizing effect.
• It has a good penetration into all body fluids. It is inactivated in liver and excreted in urine.
16
Side effects of Pyrazinamide• Hepatotoxicity• Hyperuricemia: As pyrazinoic acid inhibits uric
acid excretion, serum uric acid level is elevated in 40% of patients.
• Gout like Arthralgia: Accumulation of uric acid causes polyarthralgia.
• Others: Skin rash,vomiting, anemia, lupus, seizures,photodermatitis
17
Ethambutol (E)
• E was discovered in 1961• It has a bacteriostatic effect. • It is taken orally, its absorption is rapid
and not effected by food. • It has poor penetration into the CSF.• It is eliminated by kidney. If there is renal
failure its serum concentrations must be followed up.
18
Side effects of Ethambutol• Ocular toxicity• Aplastic anemia• Rash, • Lupus erythematosus, • Thrombocytopenia• Hyperuricemia
19
Streptomycin (S)• Discovered by SA Waksman it is an
aminoglycoside used since 1946. • Its administration is intramuscular,occasionally
intravenous.• Dosage is reduced in elderly.• S has a limited ability to penetrate membranes
and cell walls, but it still penetrates into CSF in case of meningitis.
• It inhibates the protein synthesis of bacilli.
20
Side effects of Streptomycin
• Ototoxicity: Vertigo,ataxia, hearing loss
Ototoxic to fetus
• Nephrotoxicity
• Electrolyte abnormalities
• Fever and rash
• Hypersensitivity reactions, anaphylaxia

Minor Side EffectsMinor Side Effects
• Loss of appetite, vomiting, abdominal pain
• Arthralgia
• Burning of the feet
• Fever
• Discoloration of urine, tears etc.
• Itching
26
Nausea, vomiting, gastrointestinal distress
• Administration time can be changed, dosages can be divided, some agents can be given with food.
Antacids (2 hours before or after the drug intake)
Anti-emetics
H2blockers-proton pump inhibitors• Responsible agent is stopped.
• Responsible agent can be withdrawn.
27
Arthralgia• PZA• Quinolones NSAI drugs,exercise
Peripheral neuropathyParasthesia, burning sensation on the extremities are
typical. • INH• Aminoglycosides • Cycloserine • Quinolones
•Drug can be stopped. Peripheral neuropathy is treated with Pyridoxine (100-200 mg/daily) . •exercise
28
Fever• Fever is drug related if it resolves within
24 hours after stopping all drugs. Agents should be started one by one.

Major side effectsMajor side effects
• Hepatotoxicity• Cutaneous reactions• Hearing loss,dizziness• Optic neurotoxicity • Acute renal failure • Thrombocytopenic purpura • Hemolytic anemia • Hypersensitivity reactions-Anaphylaxia• Psychotic reactions• Lupus like syndrome-pleural effusion
31
Hepatotoxicity(Drug induced hepatitis)
• INH,RIF, PZA• Ethionamid,Quinolones,PAS• Patient should be hospitalized. Drugs are
discontinued, if liver enzymes(ALT,AST) are 5 fold higher or the patient has symptoms. Drugs are restarted when ALT,AST return to normal.
• If hepatitis re-occur the drugs are reintroduced gradually one by one. (HRZ) or (RHZ)
32
Cutaneous reactions
• Itching and minor rash are frequent. Antihistamine can be used
• In case of generalized erythematous rash all drugs should be stopped.when rash is improved drugs can be started one bt one, at intervals of 2-3 days. (RIF should be started first).If no rash appears after the fist 3 drugs the fourth drug shoud not be started.
• Hypersensitivity reactions are rare: S, PAS, TH• Exfoliative dermatitis • Stevens-Johnson Syndrome: Toxic dermal necrosis of skin and mucosal membranes
33

35
36
Hearing loss
• Aminoglycosides
Capreomycin is less toxic
• It is recommended to obtain audiometry at the initiation of therapy.
• Dosage can be reduced or drug can be stopped.
37
Retrobulbar neuritis
• usually with high dosages.Reduced visual acuity, central scotoma, loss of ability to see green and red.
• E is stopped and withdrawn from treatment. Usually reversible.
38
Hipersensitivity reactions
• Hemolytic anemia,
• Thrombocytopenic purpura,
• Shock,
• Acute renal failure
All drugs should be stopped.Rifampin is usually responsible.Treatment is restarted without R when the signes diminish.
39
Psychotic symptoms
• INH
• cycloserine
• quinolones
Initiate antipsychotic drugs
Piridoxin 300 mg
• Patient is under observation
• Dosage reduced or drug stopped
40
pleural effusion–paradoxical response
• Formation of pleural effusion during a successful treatment is called a paradoxical response.
• Elevated level of ANA and decreased level of total complement in pleural fluid analysis reveal lupus like syndrome.This could be with or without systemic SLE. Isoniazid might be discontinued.
41
Drug withdrawn Recommended regimen

INH
• PAS
• Insulin
• Carbamazepine
• Theophylline
• Acetominophen hepatotoxicity is increased by INH.
Effects of INH potentiated
46
RIFAMPICIN induces several enzymes in the cytochrome P-450 system
• Oral anti-coagulants• Oral contraceptives• Oral antidiabetics• Corticosteroids• Digoxin• Verapamil• Insulin• Antifungals,chloramphenicol• Theophylline• Protease inhibitors • Other anti-viral agents
Reduces serum concentrations
47
RIF
• Cotrimoxazole potentiates the effect
of RIF .
• Ketoconazole reduces resorption of
RIF and can cause treatment failure.
48
Pyrazinamide
• Allopurinol increases plasma level of pyrazinoic acid.Therefore it is not used for Z-induced arthralgias.
Ethambutol
• Aluminium-Magnesium antacid reduces E resorption.
Streptomycin
• Ototoxicity is increased by diuretics such as furosemide.
