📋Overview
Isoniazid is an antibiotic medication primarily used in the management of tuberculosis, a serious infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of mycolic acids, which are essential components of the bacterial cell wall. Isoniazid is commonly associated with both the prevention and control of tuberculosis infections, especially in high-risk populations. It is often used in combination with other medications to enhance effectiveness and reduce the risk of resistance.
