Rifampin is a powerful inducer of hepatic cytochrome P450 enzymes increases metabolism of MANY drugs Examples: hormonal contraception, methadone, anti-
seizure medications, anti-coagulants, anti-retrovirals Complete medication review is needed and any new
additions should be noted during treatment
Drug-Drug Interactions - RifampinRifampin
Hypoglycemic(sulfonylureas)
↓ efficacy of antidiabetics, RIF also ↑ intestinal glucose absorption ~ monitor glucose
Follow-up LFTs in patients with underlying liver disease
Follow-up renal function in renal impairment
Tuberculosis in Nursing: Prevention, Treatment, and Infection ControlJune 27-28, 2018Curry International Tuberculosis Center
Anti-TB Drugs: What Nurses Need to Know8
Discovered ~ 1961
Bacteriostatic at typical doses (bactericidal at higher end of dose range) Least potent first-line drug Included in regimen primarily to prevent emergence of
RIF resistance, when primary INH resistance is suspected
Discontinue once drug susceptibility test results confirm fully drug-susceptible
Mechanism of Action: Inhibits cell wall synthesis
Ethambutol (EMB)
EMB Side Effects and MonitoringSide Effects Retrobulbar neuritis ~
1%-5%, dose-dependent and increased with renal impairment
Blurred vision
Red-green color blindness
Monitoring Baseline serum creatinine
Follow-up renal function in impairment
Baseline visual acuity test and color discrimination
Question patients at monthly visit about visual changes

Anti-TB Drugs: What Nurses Need to Know9
Rifabutin (RFB) Alternative for drug-drug interaction (has lesser degree
of induction) or intolerance to rifampin
Sometimes used in place of RIF HIV co-infected patients on PIs, some NNRTIs (etravirine,
rilpivirine), solid organ transplant recipients, patients on methadone maintenance therapy
Mechanism of action ~ same as RIF
Concentration dependent, bactericidal activity
Supplied: Capsules (150mg)
Rifabutin (RFB) (2)
Renal dose adjustment NOT required, but some sources recommend renal dose adjustment T ½ ~ 45 hours (much longer than RIF)
Penetrates CNS
Cross-resistance often seen when resistant to RIF
Doses must be adjusted when administered with antiretroviral therapy (ARVs) Dose adjustment recommendations available at:
monthly visit about visual changes (vision screening)
Drug-drug interactions similar to RIF, but lesser degree (~ 40% that of RIF)
Adherence to treatment
Rifapentine (RPT)
Bactericidal activity
Concentration dependent killing
Mechanism of action ~ same as RIF
Induces CYP enzymes ~ 85% of RIF
Drug-drug interactions similar to RIF
Absorption: Food ↑AUC 40-50% (but ↓ INH Cmax)

Anti-TB Drugs: What Nurses Need to Know11
Rifapentine (RPT) (2)
Approved for LTBI when dosed once weekly with INH for 3 months
Prolonged t ½ (~ 13-14 hours) permits weekly dosing
25-O-desacetyl metabolite is active t ½ (~ 13-24 hours)
Highly protein bound ~ 98%
RPT Side Effects and Monitoring
Side Effects Rash and pruritus
Hypersensitivity
Hepatotoxicity
Hematologic abnormalities
Red-orange discoloration of body fluids (expected)
Monitoring LFT monitoring as
appropriate
Baseline CBC
When indicated, monitor drug concentrations of interacting medications

Rationale for Multiple Drugs for Treating Active Tuberculosis
Rationale for Multiple Drugs
Past observation of treatment failure with individual drugs
Gillespie et al. Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 2002, 46(2):267.Zumla et al. N Engl J Med. 2013 Feb 21;368(8):745-55.
EMB SM INH RIF Combinations1 x 107 2.3 X 108 2.6 X 108 3.3 X 109 ~ 1 X 1017 (HR)
~ 1 X 1024 (HRE)
Mutation conferring resistance to any one first-line drug occurs at a predictable rate
Likelihood of bacilli developing resistance to 2 or more anti-TB drugs is the product of the individual mutation rates
~109

Four Drug Combination
Rifampin (RIF, R) or Rifabutin Isoniazid (INH, H ) Pyrazinamide (PZA, Z) Ethambutol (EMB, E)
(Referred to as “RIPE” or HRZE outside the U.S.)
Designed to prevent secondary development of resistance to RIF in populations with a high rate of primary resistance to INH (≥ 4%)

Nursing Guide for Managing SE’s
Designed as a reference guide so nurses can quickly: Identify symptoms that may
indicate a drug-related side effect
Assess for severity as well as potential contributors
Intervene appropriately in order to: minimize patient discomfort,
reduce side effect progression, and
ultimately support successful treatment completion
Structure: Presenting Symptoms
Presents symptoms that a patient may express during treatment
Indicates the potential toxicity: diagnosis associated with these presenting symptoms
Lists possible TB and/or anti-retroviral (ARV) drugs associated with the symptom(s)/toxicity

Summary Anti-TB drugs have associated adverse effects that
require monitoring and management A combination of drugs active against M. tuberculosis is
required for patients with active TB disease Synergistic effect when used in combination Target different aspects of the TB organism EMB is on board until TB organism is known to be fully drug
sensitive (Pan Sensitive)
Drug interactions are numerous for RIF and many for INH; careful medication history is important prior to TB treatment start
