Scientific Evidence

Izoniazid has been extensively studied and proven to be effective in the treatment of tuberculosis. Research published in the New England Journal of Medicine has shown that Izoniazid, when used in combination with other anti-tuberculosis medications, significantly reduces the bacterial load in patients with active tuberculosis.

Additional Information

It is important to complete the full course of treatment with Izoniazid as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Failure to do so may result in the development of drug-resistant strains of tuberculosis bacteria. If you experience any unusual symptoms while taking Izoniazid, contact your doctor immediately.

Izoniazid works by inhibiting the synthesis of mycolic acids in the cell wall of the tuberculosis bacteria. This disrupts the bacterial cell wall, leading to cell death. The drug is most effective when used in combination with other anti-tuberculosis medications to prevent the development of drug resistance.
