Abstract:

Tuberculosis treatment requires a combination of multiple drugs and long-term treatment, therefore, it is urgent to develop new anti-tuberculosis drugs. The research and development of new anti-tuberculosis drugs are inadequate. Exploring the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) of existing drugs in vitro and in vivo and optimizing the use of anti-tuberculosis drugs are essential to improve treatment efficacy and reduce the occurrence of drug-resistant tuberculosis. This article reviewed the PK/PD research methods and characteristics of anti-tuberculosis drugs PK/PD, in order to provide reference for clinical optimization of anti-tuberculosis treatment.
