A REVIEW ON NEW APPROACHES AND CURRENT THERAPIES INVOLVED IN THE TREATMENT AND PROPHYLAXIS OF TUBERCULOSIS
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 12
Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is a major contributor to the global burden of disease and has received considerable attention in recent years, particularly in developing countries where it is closely associated with HIV/AIDS. Poor compliance adherence to treatment is common despite various interventions aimed at improving treatment and prophylaxis of TB. During the past decades significant advances have been made in the development of novel anti tubercular drugs for treatment of tuberculosis. This brief review presents an update of the available information on anti tubercular drugs as well as recent developments in the therapy of TB. The review also involves information about drugs which are in pipeline for the treatment and prophylaxis of TB.
