E-DRUG: Formulation of Ethambutol with other anti-TB drugs (4)
--------------------------------------------------------
Dear Mr. Mahlatsi,
The available literature does not mention any interaction (except a
minor clinically irrelevant interaction with isoniazide) of this
kind. Both Dollery (Therapeutic Drugs) and the Medical Letter
Interaction diskette state that these drugs can be safely combined.
Whether there might be some sort of chemical interaction when you
combine such drugs in one pill I do not know, but the quantities used
may be prohibitive (except INH).
Good luck,
Leo Offerhaus, the Netherlands.
