Brief introduction of drug treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis

At present, tuberculosis is still a common infectious disease among the public, especially those who are engaged in certain special types of work are more likely to get tuberculosis. Once a person is diagnosed with tuberculosis, he must immediately go to a chronic disease prevention hospital or a large hospital for treatment. Generally speaking, the first-time tuberculosis patients who are not particularly serious take anti-tuberculosis drugs home, take their own medicine for treatment, and go to the hospital for review regularly during treatment. Here I will talk to you about the drug treatment of tuberculosis.

1. First of all, there are three kinds of drugs for pulmonary tuberculosis: (1) daily medication throughout the course; (2) daily medication during the intensive period, and intermittent medication during the continuation period; (3) Intermittent medication throughout the course.

2. Anti-tuberculosis drugs should be used for at least six months in the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis. Generally, it is the first time to treat patients and the second time to treat patients. The drug use time should be at least eight months. But how long each patient needs to take medicine depends on the results of regular review during taking medicine and the effect after taking medicine.

3. Every tuberculosis patient who goes to the chronic disease hospital to take medicine home for treatment will have a medication card in his hand. In the information filled in the whole medication card, except the basic information of some patients, the focus is on the treatment plan.

Let me give an example to introduce the treatment scheme of tuberculosis. Treatment plan: 2H3 R3 Z3E3 S3/6H3E3 The drugs indicated by English letters in this treatment plan are: isoniazid, rifamycin, zinamide, ethambutol and streptomycin.

5. Treatment plan: In 2H3 R3 Z3E3 S3/6H3E3, the first number before the diagonal line represents that the drug before the diagonal line needs to be taken for two months, and the first number after the diagonal line represents that the drug after the diagonal line needs to be taken for six months; And there is a number 3 after each English letter, which means that these drugs are taken every other day, not every day.

6. In the treatment plan 2HRZE/4HR, there is a big difference from the treatment plan described above, that is, there is no number 3 after each English letter, which means that under this treatment plan, these drugs need to be taken once a day instead of every other day.

Matters needing attention

Patients with pulmonary tuberculosis should not stop taking drugs privately, otherwise drug resistance will easily occur and the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis will be more difficult.

If patients with pulmonary tuberculosis have adverse drug reactions during taking medicine, they should go to the treatment hospital to ask the doctor at the first time and follow the doctor's advice. Don't stop taking drugs or give up treatment without authorization.
