A fixed-dose combination antibacterial therapy containing rifampicin, ethambutol, and isoniazid, primarily used for the treatment of tuberculosis (TB). This combination is approved and recommended by WHO for TB therapy to improve adherence and reduce development of drug resistance.
Pharmacokinetic parameters estimated from the literature on the individual drugs in adult TB patients, as no published pharmacokinetic model was found for the fixed-dose combination of all three drugs together.
