- 1.2.2 Continuation phase
- 2. Specific considerations
- 2.1 Pregnancy and breastfeeding
- With the exception of streptomycin, the first line anti-TB drugs are safe for use in pregnancy: Streptomycin is ototoxic to the fetus and should not be used during pregnancy.
- After active TB in the baby is ruled out, the baby should be given 6 months of isoniazid preventive therapy, followed by BCG vaccination.
- Pyridoxine supplementation is recommended for all pregnant or breastfeeding women taking isoniazid.
- 2.2 Liver disorders
- Two hepatotoxic drugs (rather than the three in the standard regimen):
- 9 months of Isoniazid AND Rifampicin AND Ethambutol (until or unless Isoniazid susceptibility is documented).
- 2 months of Isoniazid AND Rifampicin AND Streptomycin AND Ethambutol, followed by 6 months of Isoniazid AND Rifampicin.
- 6–9 months of Rifampicin AND Pyrazinamide AND Ethambutol
- One hepatotoxic drug:
- 2 months of Isoniazid AND Ethambutol AND Streptomycin, followed by 10 months of Isoniazid AND Ethambutol
- No hepatotoxic drugs:
- 18–24 months of Streptomycin AND Ethambutol AND a Fluoroquinolone
- 2.3 Renal failure and severe renal insufficiency
- The recommended initial TB treatment regimen for patients with renal failure or severe renal insufficiency is 2 months of isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide and ethambutol, followed by 4 months of isoniazid and rifampicin.
- There is significant renal excretion of ethambutol and metabolites of pyrazinamide, and doses should therefore be adjusted.
- Three times per week administration of these two drugs at the following doses is recommended: pyrazinamide (25 mg/kg), and ethambutol (15 mg/kg)
- While receiving isoniazid, patients with severe renal insufficiency or failure should also be given pyridoxine in order to prevent peripheral neuropathy.
- Because of an increased risk of nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity, Streptomycin should be avoided in patients with renal failure. If Streptomycin must be used, the dosage is 15 mg/kg, two or three times per week, to a maximum of 1 gram per dose, and serum levels of the drug should be monitored.
- 2.4 Previously treated patients in settings with rapid DST
- TB patients whose treatment has failed or other patient groups with high likelihood of multidrug-resistant TB (MDR) should be started on an empirical MDR regimen.
- TB patients returning after defaulting or relapsing from their first treatment course may receive the retreatment regimen containing first-line drugs 2HRZES/1HRZE/5HRE if country-specific data show low or medium levels of MDR in these patients or if such data are not available.
- 2.5 TB treatment in people living with HIV
- TB patients with known positive HIV status and all TB patients living in HIV prevalent settings should receive daily TB treatment at least during the intensive phase.
- For the continuation phase, the optimal dosing frequency is also daily for these patients.
- If a daily continuation phase is not possible for these patients, three times weekly dosing during the continuation phase is an acceptable alternative.
- It is recommended that TB patients who are living with HIV should receive at least the same duration of TB treatment as HIV-negative TB patients.
