What is injectable medicine in treating tubercolusis?
Injectable medicine for treating tuberculosis primarily refers to injectable forms of antibiotics used to combat the infection, particularly in cases of drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB). Common injectable agents include aminoglycosides like amikacin and capreomycin, as well as polypeptides like kanamycin. These medications are typically utilized during the intensive phase of treatment to enhance efficacy, especially when oral medications are insufficient or resistance is present. Their use is carefully monitored due to potential side effects and the need for proper dosing.
