Table 2.

Steady-state pharmacokinetics of isoniazid, rifampin, and pyrazinamide for the nine patients with a full pharmacokinetic curve, as well as for the total cohort

Parametera GM (range)b
Isoniazid Rifampin Pyrazinamide
Total cohort (n = 181)
    C2 h GM in mg/liter (range) 1.4 (0.2–5.0) 6.5 (0.1–19.7) 36.1 (13.5–68.0)
    C2 h GM in mg/liter (IQR) 1.4 (0.9–2.2) 6.5 (5.0–11.7) 36.1 (32.2–41.4)

    C2 h GM in mg/liter (IQR) 0.9 (0.4–2.0) 6.6 (5.3–8.6) 36.2 (31.0–39.3)
    Half-life in h (range) 1.9 (0.9–4.0) 1.6 (1.4–1.8) 6.7 (5.2–9.6)
a

IQR, interquartile range; Cmax, maximum observed plasma concentration; Tmax, time to Cmax; AUC0–24, area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero until 24 h after dose administration; C2 h, plasma concentration 2 h after dose administration.

b

Data are presented as the geometric mean (GM; range, minimum to maximum) except where stated otherwise. C2 h data were missing for isoniazid (n = 2), rifampin (n = 4), and pyrazinamide (n = 2).
