Pharmacokinetics of Rifampin, Isoniazid, Pyrazinamide, and Ethambutol in Infants Dosed According to Revised WHO-Recommended Treatment Guidelines
Intensive pharmacokinetic sampling was performed in infants receiving anti tuberculosis treatment, using WHO recommended doses
Abstract
There are limited pharmacokinetic data for use of the first-line antituberculosis drugs during infancy, when drug disposition may differ. Intensive pharmacokinetic sampling was performed in infants routinely receiving anti tuberculosis treatment, including rifampin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol, using World Health Organization-recommended doses.
