Regimen Effectiveness
is is the preferred regimen for patients with
newly diagnosed pulmonary tuberculosis.
Preferred alternative regimen in situations in which
more frequent DOT during continuation phase is
difficult to achieve.
Use regimens with three times weekly dosing
throughout with caution in patients with HIV
and/or cavitary disease. Missed doses can lead
to treatment failure, relapse, and acquired drug
resistance.
Do not use twice-weekly regimens in HIV-infected
patients or patients with smear-positive and/or
cavitary disease. If doses are missed, then therapy is
equivalent to once weekly, which is inferior.
