Scientific Evidence

Studies have shown that Ethambutol is effective in the treatment of tuberculosis. Research published in the International Journal of Tuberculosis and Lung Disease demonstrated the efficacy of Ethambutol in combination therapy for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis.

Additional Information

Etambutol works by inhibiting the synthesis of mycobacterial cell wall components. This action disrupts the growth and reproduction of the tuberculosis bacteria, aiding in the treatment of the infection.

Clinical trials have shown Etambutol to be well-tolerated with minimal side effects. It is considered a key component in the standard treatment regimen for tuberculosis.
