Capreomycin is a cyclic peptide antibiotic used for the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), usually as a second-line agent in combination therapy. It is not approved for first-line use, and due to its toxicity and the advent of newer antituberculotic drugs, its use today is limited.
