    GlossaryIsoniazid

    medication used to treat and prevent tuberculosis (TB)

    Isoniazid, also known as INH, is a medication primarily used to treat and prevent tuberculosis (TB). It works by inhibiting the synthesis of mycolic acids, which are essential components of the bacterial cell wall in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This antibiotic is often used in combination with other TB drugs to prevent the development of drug resistance.
