Abstract:

Recently, the tuberculosis epidemic is serious. Cycloserine, as the core drug in the treatment of drug-resistant tuberculosis, lacks the relevant guidance. The Clinical Trial Branch of the Chinese Antituberculosis Association and the Editorial Board of the Chinese Journal of Antituberculosis organized relevant experts to discuss deeply and to develop this guideline. This guideline introduces the molecular structure and mechanism of action, pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, drug interaction, drug resistance mechanism, efficacy and safety, usage of special population, indications and contraindications, dosage and usage, drug adverse effect and clinical attentions, so as to help medical staff to standardize and reasonably use cycloserine.
