Definition
English
:
Drugs used in the treatment of
tuberculosis
. They are divided into two main classes: "first-line" agents, those with the greatest
efficacy
and acceptable degrees of
toxicity
used successfully in the great majority of cases; and "second-line" drugs used in drug-resistant cases or those in which some other patient-related condition has compromised the
effectiveness
of primary therapy.
