ACTION AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
ACTION
RIFATER (rifampin/isoniazid/pyrazinamide) is an anti-bacterial fixed
combination product
containing 120 mg rifampin, 50 mg isoniazid and 300 mg pyrazinamide
used for the treatment of
tuberculosis. Rifampin, isoniazid and pyrazinamide are bactericidal
agents active against both
intracellular and extracellular tuberculosis organisms.
Rifampin inhibits DNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity in susceptible
cells. Specifically, it
interacts with bacterial RNA polymerase, but does not inhibit the
mammalian enzyme. Cross-
resistance to rifampin has only been shown with other rifamycins.
Isoniazid kills actively
growing tubercle bacilli by inhibition of mycolic acid synthesis. The
mechanism of action of
pyrazinamide is unknown.
_In vitro _
and
_in vivo_
the drug is active only at a slightly acidic pH.

PHARMACOKINETICS
Pharmacokinetic studies in normal volunteers have shown that the three
ingredients in RIFATER
have comparable bioavailability whether they are given together as
individual dose forms or as
RIFATER.
Once daily doses of 4-7 tablets in tubercolosis patients resulted in
the following steady state
pharmacokinetics.
