Cycloserine in tuberculosis

Cycloserine is an inhibitor of cell wall synthesis and is discussed in Chapter 43. Concentrations of 15-20 mcg/mL inhibit many strains of M tuberculosis. The dosage of cycloserine in tuberculosis is 0.5-1 g/d in two divided doses. Cycloserine is cleared renally, and the dose should be reduced by half if creatinine clearance is less than 50 mL/min.
