[Myrin P in the combined treatment of tuberculosis].

Experimental and clinical evaluation of the new antimycobacterial quadrocomposition Myrin P was performed. The composition consists of isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide and ethambutol in fixed doses. The results of the formulation application at 474 patients with primary pulmonary tuberculosis caused by drug-susceptible and drug-resistant mycobacteria are presented.

[Tarivid in the combination therapy of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis].

The effectiveness of tarivid, a new drug having a broad spectrum of antimicrobial action and antituberculous effect, was studied. The drug was given to 29 patients with newly detected destructive pulmonary tuberculosis and bacillary excretion. Eight patients had microbacterial resistance to streptomycin, rifampicin and isoniazid, 12 had tolerance to them, in 9 patients tuberculosis was complicated by a nonspecific inflammatory process.

[Pharmacokinetic bases for the drug-free prevention of drug-induced hepatitis in pulmonary tuberculosis patients].

The causes and frequency of occurrence of toxic hepatitides determined by isoniazid and rifampicin, were analysed in 551 patients with primary tuberculosis detected by clinical pharmacological methods. The intravenous mode of drug administration was shown to be indicated for prevention of isoniazid hepatitides in patients with a fast type of acetylation. Doses and methods of therapy with isoniazid and streptomycin leading to their high concentrations in the patients' body should be avoided to prevent liver affection with rifampicin.
