Buy Etibi

Etibi (Ethambutol) is primarily used in combination with other drugs to treat active tuberculosis infection (TB). Etibi contains the active ingredient ethambutol, an antibiotic classified as a bacteriostatic antimycobacterial agent. Ethambutol works by inhibiting the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall, explicitly targeting the enzyme arabinosyl transferase. This action interferes with the formation of arabinogalactan, an essential component of the mycobacterial cell wall, ultimately stopping the growth and replication of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

It also enhances the effects of other anti-tuberculosis medications such as isoniazid. It is safe to use and generally well tolerated by most individuals, although with rare but possible risk of severe adverse effects such as optic neuritis and liver toxicity. Source
