[Isoprodiane therapy for previously untreated cavitating pulmonary tuberculosis (author's transl)]. 1979

C M Quinteros, and E Chehín, and E Wayar, and M Ratner, and G Amadio

Isoprodiane (a combination of isoniazid, prothionamide and dapsone) was given to 22 persons with open cavitating pulmonary tuberculosis. None of them had been treated before. Microscopic and cultural sputum conversion occurred within an average of 5 and 11 weeks respectively. Treatment was discontinued in five patients: as a safety measure, despite sputum conversion, on account of the extent of the process and the general condition of the patient (one case); because of side-effects (two cases, one of whom was hypersensitive to isoniazid); because the patients failed to continue with the treatment (two cases). The early results were very promising; the long-term results cannot yet be assessed. The therapy did not materially affect the haemoglobin levels.

D011515 Prothionamide Antitubercular agent similar in action and side effects to ETHIONAMIDE. It is used mostly in combination with other agents. Ektebin,Peteha,Protionamide
D003622 Dapsone A sulfone active against a wide range of bacteria but mainly employed for its actions against MYCOBACTERIUM LEPRAE. Its mechanism of action is probably similar to that of the SULFONAMIDES which involves inhibition of folic acid synthesis in susceptible organisms. It is also used with PYRIMETHAMINE in the treatment of malaria.
