The Tuberculosis Drug Information Guide is derived from Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis: A Survival Guide for Clinicians (2nd edition) produced in 2008 by the Francis J. Curry National Tuberculosis Center (CNTC) and the State of California Department of Public Health, Tuberculosis Control Branch (CDPH).
The information in this easy-to-use guide was updated in November, 2009 and features information on all medications currently used to treat tuberculosis, both in the U.S. and internationally. For each drug (listed alphabetically), this guide includes:

Preparation and storage | | | | Pharmacokinetics | | | | Adverse reactions | | | | Contraindications | | | | Monitoring | | | | Wholesale cost, and | | | | Patient instructions. |
