Ethionamide is used in conjunction with other antituberculosis agents in the treatment of clinical tuberculosis.
Ethionamide is considered a second-line antituberculosis agent for use in these regimens. The drug usually is used in the treatment of drug-resistant tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis known or presumed to be susceptible to the drug, especially when isoniazid and/or rifampin cannot be used because of resistance and/or intolerance.
