Tuberculosis is an infectious diseased caused by a bacterium.
INH can increase the effect of certain benzodiazepines, such as diazepam (Valium), triazolam (Halcion), and others, by interfering with the enzymes in the liver that eliminate benzodiazepines.
INH can decrease the rate at which the liver eliminates phenytoin (Dilantin), which can raise the blood levels and result in side effects of phenytoin.
Patients found to have INH monoresistant organisms after induction therapy is complete (e.g., during continuation phase of therapy with INH and rifampin) should be evaluated for treatment failure clinically and with cultures.
Patients who are identified as infected with INH monoresistant organisms before the induction phase of therapy is completed may be treated with a combination of rifampin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol (or streptomycin) for 6 months.
Patients with unrecognized INH monoresistance who were treated with the two-drug regimen of INH and rifampin and those treated initially with INH, rifampin, and pyrazinamide are at increased risk for treatment failure and/or relapse after treatment, possibly associated with acquired rifampin resistance.
