Isoniazid

Isoniazid is a medication used primarily to treat and prevent tuberculosis (TB), a bacterial infection that affects the lungs and other parts of the body. It works by stopping the bacteria from growing and multiplying. Typically, it is taken for several months as part of a treatment plan to ensure the infection is fully eradicated. Isoniazid is effective but can cause side effects like liver damage or nerve problems, so it’s important to use it under medical supervision. Proper adherence to the prescribed regimen helps prevent the development of drug-resistant TB.
