Question:
What constitutes drug resistant TB?
Answer:
MDR-TB is defined as TB that is resistant to both isoniazid and rifampin, our
two most effective antituberculosis (anti-TB) drugs. XDR-TB, a severe form of
MDR-TB, is defined as TB that is resistant not only to isoniazid and rifampin
but also to all fluoroquinolones (e.g., moxifloxacin) and at least one of the
injectable second-line anti-TB drugs (amikacin, or capreomycin).
, Question:
Treatment of TB in a pregnant person, what all should be included?
Answer:
Rifabutin is deemed the safest during pregnancy. The CDC reports that the
benefit justifies the risk for isoniazid, rifampin, and pyrazinamide.
The CDC does not recommend rifapentine due to insufficient data in
pregnant women. Ethambutol has caused teratogenesis in animal studies and
there have been reports of eye abnormalities in children; therefore
ethambutol should be given only if the benefits are judged to be greater than
the risks.
Question:

Answer:
Expectorants have no known significant interactions with other
medications??????????????
