Rifampicin is a first-line anti-TB drug. The objectives of this analysis were to evaluate the population pharmacokinetics of rifampicin and its partly active metabolite, 25-deacetyl-rifampicin, with and without isoniazid, and to identify covariates that may explain variability in their disposition under steady-state conditions.
