That regimen was reviewed and has been recommended by WHO since 2019, with the following combination of medicines: bedaquiline (used for 6 months), in combination with levofloxacin/moxifloxacin, ethionamide, ethambutol, isoniazid (high-dose), pyrazinamide and clofazimine for 4 months (with the possibility

This regimen remains a treatment option for patients with MDR/RR-TB without fluoroquinolone resistance, who do not have extensive pulmonary TB disease

-resistant TB (Hr-TB): caused by M. tuberculosis strains resistant to isoniazid and susceptible to rifampicin.Second-line TB medicine (or drug): an agent used for the treatment of drug-resistant TB. First-line TB medicines used to treat drug-susceptible TB – ethambutol, isoniazid and pyrazinamide – may also be used in MDR-TB regimens. Streptomycin is now considered a second-line TB medicine and is used

of rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis. A high prevalence of resistance to constituent drugs precluded its widespread use by countries in the WHO European region. We evaluated three 9-month fully oral modified STRs (mSTRs) in which ethionamide, ethambutol, isoniazid, and pyrazinamide were replaced by linezolid, cycloserine, or delamanid (or a combination).

The albumin concentration had a moderate impact on the moxifloxacin binding and a strong impact on the levofloxacin, linezolid and rifampicin binding (below values of 30 g/L). The determination of the free drug concentration seems to have few interests for ethambutol, isoniazid

Hepatic enzymes were measured at 0, 2, 4, 8, 12 and 17 weeks and as clinically indicated during reported adverse events. Patients included were those receiving at least one dose of drug and with two or more hepatic enzyme
