Terizidone (Trd) is an antibiotic used to treat tuberculosis.[1] Specifically it is used in multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) when other agents are not suitable.[1] It is used together with other tuberculosis medication and vitamin B6.[2] It is generally take by mouth for about 2 years.[2]

Side effects may include seizures, slurred speech, trouble sleeping, confusion, and depression.[1] Side effects are believed to be less than the similar medication cycloserine.[1] It should not be used in those with significant kidney problems.[2] It works by stoping bacterial growth after being broken down into cycloserine.[1][3]

The medication may be available from the Stop TB Partnership.[4] It is not available in the United States.[1] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines as an alternative to cycloserine.[5] As of 2015, 50 tablets of 250 mg costs about 80 USD.[4]
