How much does a box of Bedaquiline tablets cost?

Bedaquiline tablets (Bedaquiline) is a drug used to treat multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis and is most commonly found in the lungs but can affect other areas as well. Multidrug-resistant TB refers to the development of resistance to drugs commonly used to treat tuberculosis infections, such as isoniazid and rifampin.

Bedaquiline tablets belong to a class of drugs called anti-tuberculosis drugs, which work by inhibiting the growth of the bacteria by inhibiting specific enzymes involved in the synthesis of the cell wall of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This drug is often given in combination with other anti-tuberculosis drugs to enhance the effectiveness of treatment.

However, bedaquiline tablets have some serious adverse reactions and potential safety issues, such as heart problems and abnormal liver function. Therefore, before using this drug, doctors will evaluate the patient's overall health and potential risks and closely monitor the patient's heart and liver function.

Please note that drug use, dosage, and treatment regimens should be determined by your physician on a case-by-case basis. If you have specific questions about bedaquiline tablets or tuberculosis treatment, please talk to your doctor or professional medical provider.
