Ethionamide is an antibiotic used in the treatment of tuberculosis, especially in cases resistant to other drugs. It works by inhibiting the growth of the bacteria that cause tuberculosis, helping to control and eradicate the infection.
Ethionamide is administered orally as tablets, according to the specialist doctor's instructions. It is important to complete the full course of treatment, even if symptoms improve, to prevent relapse or the development of bacterial resistance.
Side effects may include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, taste disturbances, or, rarely, liver dysfunction and allergic reactions. Medical monitoring is necessary throughout the treatment.
