Pyrazinamide

Pyrazinamide is an antibiotic medication used primarily to treat tuberculosis (TB), a bacterial infection that affects the lungs and other parts of the body. It works by helping to kill the bacteria that cause TB, especially during the initial phase of treatment. Pyrazinamide is typically used alongside other antibiotics as part of a combination therapy to prevent the bacteria from developing resistance. It is generally taken for several months, and like all medications, it may have side effects that need to be monitored by a healthcare provider. Its use is critical in effectively curing TB infections.
