[I] - Instruction on medical use approved by the Pharmacological Committee of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation on 27.07.2000

Has a bacteriostatic or bactericidal effect depending on the concentration and sensitivity of the microorganism.
More active on tuberculostatic activity than PASK, although inferior to isoniazid, streptomycin, rifampicin. It operates on mycobacteria, resistant to other anti-tuberculosis drugs of the II series. The drug penetrates well into the centers of tuberculous lesion. Its activity does not decrease in the acidic environment of caseous masses, and therefore it is often prescribed for caseous lymphadenitis, tuberculomas and caseous-pneumonic processes.

Pyrazinamide penetrates into tissues and body fluids, including the liver, lungs, cerebrospinal fluid. Approximately 50% bind to plasma proteins, T 1/2 is 9-10 hours in those patients whose liver and kidney function are not impaired. Within 24 hours about 70% of the ingested dose is excreted by the kidneys. About 4-14% of the dose is released unchanged. The residues are excreted as metabolites.
