TB treatment properly, will indirectly prevent the spread of this disease. Some drugs normally used, namely:
* Isoniazid (INH)
The drug is bacteriostatic (inhibits growth of bacteria) is a prodrug that needs to be activated by the enzyme catalase for effect. Work by inhibiting the formation of cell walls microbacterial.
* Rifampin / Rifampin
Is bactericidal (kills bacteria) and works by preventing transcription of RNA in the process of bacterial cell wall protein synthesis.
* Pyrazinamide
Are bactericidal and works by inhibiting the formation of fatty acids needed for bacterial growth.
* Streptomycin
Included in the class of aminoglycosides and can kill microbial cells by inhibiting protein synthesis.
* Ethambutol
Are bacteriostatic. Works by interfering with bacterial cell wall formation by increasing the permeability of the wall.
In TB therapy, typically chosen in the form of a combination of 3-4 kinds of drugs. It aims to avoid the occurrence of bacterial resistance to the drug. Dosages vary for each patient, depending on the severity of infection. Because the TB bacteria are very slow growth, then the handling of tuberculosis long enough, between 6 and 12 months is to kill all the bacteria completely.
Treatment must be carried out continuously without interruption, although the patient has felt better / healthier. Interrupted treatment of middle of the road can cause bacteria to become resistant. If this happens, then the TB will be more difficult to heal and need more time to handle. To help ensure that TB patients take medicine regularly and correctly, the involvement of family members or health workers are needed to monitor and if necessary to prepare a drug that would be consumed. Therefore, the need for family support, especially from patient to complete treatment in order to really achieve healing.
Drugs taken at the same time each day to facilitate the patient in taking the drug. Better medications taken on an empty stomach about half an hour before meals or at bedtime.
