Ethionamide is a prodrug activated by the mycobacterial enzyme EthA. Its active metabolite inhibits InhA, disrupting mycolic-acid synthesis in the mycobacterial cell wall. Cross-resistance with isoniazid can occur through shared target-related resistance mechanisms; susceptibility should not be assumed. Ethionamide is used only as part of an appropriately selected multidrug regimen for TB. Other uses, including in selected leprosy regimens, depend on specialist guidance and local authorization.
CTD/ACTD dossiers, certificates of analysis, FSC and COPP may be available for specific registered products, subject to regulatory requirements. Export packaging and logistics are arranged according to market authorization and applicable distribution standards.

Ethionamide dose, frequency, titration and duration depend on body weight, tolerance, susceptibility, other TB medicines and current national or WHO-aligned guidance. It should never be used as monotherapy for active TB. Food and dose-splitting strategies may be considered by the treating clinician for tolerability. Pyridoxine may be recommended in appropriate patients or regimens; follow the TB program protocol.
