Okay, let’s take a look at ISO Nide, also known as Nide, or I N H this is an oral medication, as you can see here with the pill, but it also comes in other forms like IV and IM injection. I ISO Nides therapeutic class, or how it works in the body is an anti tubercular while the pharmacologic class or the chemical effect of the drug is an ISO Nico acid. ISO Nide works by inhibiting the synthesis of the myco bacterial cell wall. And we use it for the treatment of tuberculosis.
