[Pharmaco-toxocologic study of the anti-tuberculosis preparation prothionimide]

Investigations of prothionamide effected on different animal species showed the drug to be of low toxicity. In relatively big doses it produced adynamia, hypothermy and a fall of arterial pressure. When employed in doses much higher (by 10-20 times) than therapeutic ones for humans prothionamide, when used repeatedly, may exercise a hepatotoxic action.
