What does it do?

Delamanid is a drug of the anti-tuberculosis class used in the treatment of tuberculosis. This ingredient is included in pharmaceuticals with the purpose of interfering with the synthesis of the cell wall of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, thereby inhibiting the growth of the bacteria. It is mainly utilized in the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis.

Delamanid disrupts the process of creating the cell wall, which is essential for the survival of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. As a result, the bacteria cannot proliferate normally and eventually die. Therefore, it effectively suppresses tuberculosis infections.
