PRESCRIPTION DRUG
For pulmonary tuberculosis in which organisms are susceptible, and when the patient has been titrated on theindividual components and it has therefore been established that this fixed dosage is therapeutically effective. This fixed-dosage combination drug is not recommended for initial therapy of tuberculosis or for preventive therapy. In the treatment of tuberculosis, small numbers of resistant cells, present within large populations of susceptiblecells, can rapidly become the predominating type. Since rapid emergence of resistance can occur, culture andsusceptibility tests should be performed in the event of persistent positive cultures. This drug is not indicated for the treatment of meningococcal infections or asymptomatic carriers of N. meningitides to eliminate meningococci from the nasopharynx. Previous isoniazid-associated hepatic injury; severe adverse reactions to isoniazid, such as drug fever, chills, andarthritis; acute liver disease of any etiology.

ISONARIF- RIFAMPIN AND ISONIAZID CAPSULE VERSAPHARM INCORPORATED ---------- ISONARIF™ (RIFAMPIN AND ISONIAZID CAPSULES USP) 300 MG/150 MG RX ONLY WARNING Severe and sometimes fatal hepatitis associated with isoniazid therapy may occur and may develop even after many months of treatment. The risk of developing hepatitis is age related. Approximate case rates by age are: 0 per 1,000 for persons under 20 years of age, 3 per 1,000 for persons in the 20-34 year age group, 12 per 1,000 for persons in the 35-49 year age group, 23 per 1,000 for persons in the 50-64 year age group, and 8 per 1,000 for persons over 65 years of age. The risk of hepatitis is increased with daily consumption of alcohol. Precise data to provide a fatality rate for isoniazid-related hepatitis is not available; however, in a U.S. Public Health Service Surveillance Study of 13,838 persons taking isoniazid, there were 8 deaths among 174 cases of hepatitis. Therefore, patients given isoniazid should be carefully monitored and interviewed at monthly intervals. Serum transaminase concentration becomes elevated in about 10-20 percent of patients, usually during the first few months of therapy, but it can occur at any time. Usually enzyme levels return to normal despite continuance of drug, but in some cases progressive liver dysfunction occurs. Patients should be instructed to report immediately any of the prodromal symptoms of hepatitis, such as fatigue, weakness, malaise, anorexia, nausea, or vomiting. If these symptoms appear or if signs suggestive of hepatic damage are detected, isoniazid should be discontinued promptly, since continued use of the drug in these cases has been reported to cause a more severe form of liver damage. Patients with tuberculosis should be given appropriate treatment with alternative drugs. If isoniazid must be reinstituted, it should be reinstituted only after symptoms and laboratory abnormalities have cleared. The drug should be restarted in very small and gradually increasing doses and should be withdrawn immediately Đọc toàn bộ tài liệu
