Description
Ethambutol HCl 400 mg tablets are an essential medication in the treatment of tuberculosis (TB). As part of a multi-drug regimen, it works by inhibiting the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall, ultimately leading to the death of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This bacteriostatic effect helps control the spread of TB in the body and supports the treatment of both active and latent infections.
Each tablet contains 400 mg of ethambutol hydrochloride, which is film-coated to aid in swallowing and protect the medication from degradation. The standard dosage of ethambutol for adults in the treatment of TB typically ranges from 15 mg/kg to 25 mg/kg body weight, depending on the severity and type of infection.
Ethambutol is primarily absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract and is widely distributed throughout body tissues, including the lungs. It is metabolized in the liver and excreted mainly through the kidneys. Renal function should be closely monitored during treatment, as dose adjustments may be necessary in patients with impaired kidney function.
