Pretomanid is used along with bedaquiline (Sirturo) and linezolid (Zyvox) to treat multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB; a serious infection that affects the lungs that cannot be treated with other medications) in adults. Pretomanid is in a class of medications called antimycobacterials. It works by killing the bacteria that cause tuberculosis.

⏳ Availability & generic status
We did not find an FDA-approved generic match for this exact strength, form and route. Patent/protection dates below may affect future generic timing.
Why the date isn’t exact: Generic timing can change because patents may be challenged, settled, licensed, added, removed, or worked around with a narrower label — and FDA approval does not always mean a pharmacy can get the generic today.
🛈 What do these terms mean?
- Patent
- Legal protection listed in the Orange Book that may delay generic approval or launch. Issued by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office.
- Substance patent
- Covers the active drug molecule itself — the hardest to design around. A generic generally can’t launch until it expires.
- Formulation (product) patent
- Covers a specific formulation or dosage form. A generic can sometimes work around it with a different formulation.
- Method-of-use patent
- A patent covering one specific approved use of the drug — not necessarily the whole molecule. A generic can sometimes launch with a “skinny label” that carves out the protected use and keeps the others.
- Skinny label
- A generic label that omits a still-patented use when the FDA allows it — letting a generic reach the market for the unprotected uses.
- Exclusivity
- FDA-granted marketing protection, separate from patents — e.g. 5-yr new chemical entity, 7-yr orphan drug, or a +6-month pediatric extension.
- Paragraph IV
- A generic applicant’s formal challenge to a listed patent. It can potentially lead to earlier generic entry, but often involves litigation or a settlement.
- RLD / RS
- Reference Listed Drug — the brand product the FDA uses as the reference for generic applications. Reference Standard — the product the FDA expects generics to compare against in bioequivalence testing.
- TE / AB rating
- FDA therapeutic-equivalence rating. An AB rating generally means the FDA considers a generic therapeutically equivalent to — and substitutable for — the brand.
- LOE (loss of exclusivity)
- The latest patent or exclusivity currently listed — the loss-of-exclusivity / latest-listed-protection date shown on this page. Paragraph-IV challenges and settlements can move the real date earlier; FDA approval and a manufacturer’s decision to market can move it later.
Built from the FDA Orange Book. The bars above are scaled to each protection’s expiry; the red LOE marker is the last one to lapse.

6.1Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical studies are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical studies of a drug cannot be directly compared to the rates in the clinical studies of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice. When Pretomanid Tablets are administered in combination with bedaquiline and linezolid, refer to the prescribing information for the respective drugs for a description of the adverse reactions associated with their use.
Approximately 3100 subjects have been exposed to Pretomanid Tablets, either alone or as part of a combination therapy in clinical trials. The registrational trial, Trial 1 (NCT02333799), was a single-arm, open-label trial conducted in three sites in South Africa in which adult patients with pulmonary TB resistant to isoniazid, rifamycins, a fluoroquinolone and a second line injectable antibacterial drug or pulmonary TB resistant to isoniazid and rifampin, who were treatment-intolerant or non-responsive to standard therapy received the combination regimen of Pretomanid Tablets, bedaquiline, and linezolid for 6 months (extendable to 9 months) with 24 months of follow-up.
One hundred and nine patients were treated; 76% were black, and 23% were of mixed race. Their ages ranged from 17 years to 60 years (mean 36 years), and all patients were from South Africa. Fifty-six (51%) patients were HIV-positive.
There were 8 deaths. Six patients died while receiving treatment; all surviving patients, excluding one patient who withdrew consent, completed treatment. Two patients died during follow-up at Day 369 and Day 486, respectively.
Trial 2 (NCT03086486) was a phase 3 partially-blinded, randomized trial assessing the safety and efficacy of various doses and treatment durations of linezolid in combination with Pretomanid Tablets plus bedaquiline in patients with pulmonary TB resistant to isoniazid, rifamycins, a fluoroquinolone and a second line injectable antibacterial drug, or pulmonary TB resistant to rifamycins and either a fluoroquinolone or a second line injectable antibacterial drug, or pulmonary TB resistant to isoniazid and rifampin who were treatment intolerant or non-responsive to standard therapy.
A total of 181 patients were randomized to one of the 4 treatment arms, Pretomanid Tablets plus bedaquiline plus either 1,200 mg or 600 mg of linezolid for 26 weeks or for 9 weeks (not an approved dosing regimen), followed by a linezolid placebo for 17 weeks. Males represented 67% of the patients in the trial and the median age of all patients was 36 years. 64% of patients were White and the remaining patients were Black (36%).
The treatment groups were comparable with respect to demographic characteristics. Most patients (93%) completed treatment. One patient died in the linezolid 1,200 mg for 9 weeks (not an approved dosing regimen) arm.

🔄 Drug Interactions ▾
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS • Strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducers such as rifampin or efavirenz: Avoid co-administration. ( 5.6 , 7.1 ) • Organic anion transporter-3 (OAT3) substrates: Monitor for OAT3 substrate drug-related adverse reactions and consider dosage reduction for OAT3 substrate drugs, if needed. ( 7.2 )
7.1Effect of Other Drugs on Pretomanid CYP3A4 Inducers Co-administration of pretomanid with rifampin and efavirenz resulted in a decrease in pretomanid plasma concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Avoid co-administration of the combination regimen of Pretomanid Tablets, bedaquiline, and linezolid with rifampin, efavirenz, or other strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducers. Refer to the prescribing information for bedaquiline for additional information about drug interactions with CYP3A4.
Lopinavir/Ritonavir Co-administration of pretomanid with lopinavir/ritonavir did not affect the plasma concentrations of pretomanid [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Lopinavir/ritonavir can be co-administered with the combination regimen of Pretomanid Tablets, bedaquiline, and linezolid.
7.2Effect of Pretomanid on Other Drugs Midazolam Co-administration of pretomanid with the CYP3A4 substrate, midazolam, resulted in no clinically significant effect on the pharmacokinetics of midazolam or its major metabolite, 1-hydroxy-midazolam [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . The combination regimen of Pretomanid Tablets, bedaquiline, and linezolid can be administered with CYP3A4 substrate drugs. Organic Anion Transporter-3 (OAT3), BCRP, OATP1B3 and P-gp Substrates The effect of co-administration of pretomanid on the pharmacokinetics of OAT3 substrates in humans is unknown.
However, in vitro studies indicate that pretomanid significantly inhibits the OAT3 drug transporter [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which could result in increased concentrations of OAT3 substrate drugs clinically and may increase the risk of adverse reactions associated with these drugs. If pretomanid is co-administered with OAT3 substrate drugs (e.g., methotrexate, indomethacin, ciprofloxacin), increase monitoring for OAT3 substrate drug-related adverse reactions and consider dosage reduction for OAT3 substrate drugs, if needed.
Refer to the prescribing information of the co-administered drug for dosage reduction information. In vitro studies cannot exclude the possibility that pretomanid is an inhibitor of BCRP, OATP1B3 and P-gp [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . No clinical studies have been performed to investigate these interactions.
Therefore, it cannot be excluded that co-administration of pretomanid with sensitive OATP1B3 substrates (e.g., valsartan, statins), BCRP substrates (e.g., rosuvastatin, prazosin, glyburide, sulfasalazine) and P-gp substrates (e.g., digoxin, dabigatran etexilate, verapamil) may increase their exposure. If pretomanid is co-administered with substrates of OATP1B3, BCRP, or P-gp, increased monitoring for drug-related adverse reactions to the co-administered medicinal product should be performed.
👥 Use in Specific Populations ▾
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS • Lactation: Breastfeeding is not recommended. ( 8.2 )
8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no studies or available data on pretomanid use in pregnant women to inform any drug-associated risks. There are risks associated with active tuberculosis during pregnancy (see Clinical Considerations ). When Pretomanid Tablets are administered in combination with bedaquiline and linezolid, the pregnancy information for bedaquiline and linezolid also applies to this combination regimen.
Refer to the bedaquiline and linezolid prescribing information for more information on bedaquiline and linezolid associated risks of use during pregnancy. In animal reproduction studies, there was increased post-implantation loss in the presence of maternal toxicity (reduced bodyweight and feed consumption) with oral administration of pretomanid during organogenesis in rats at doses about 4 times the exposure at the recommended dose in humans. There were no adverse embryo fetal effects in rats or rabbits dosed with oral pretomanid during organogenesis at doses up to approximately 2 times the exposure in humans.
The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the United States general population, the estimated background risks of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies are 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively.
Clinical Considerations Disease-Associated Maternal and/or Embryo/Fetal Risk Active tuberculosis in pregnancy is associated with adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes including maternal anemia, caesarean delivery, preterm birth, low birth weight, birth asphyxia, and perinatal infant death. Data Animal Data In animal reproduction studies, pregnant rats were dosed orally with pretomanid at 10, 30, and 100 mg/kg/day during organogenesis (gestational Days 7 through 17). Rats showed increased post-implantation loss in the presence of maternal toxicity (including reduced body weight and feed consumption) at 100 mg/kg/day, approximately 4 times the exposure in humans for a 200 mg dose on an AUC basis.
There were no adverse embryofetal effects in rats dosed with oral pretomanid during organogenesis at doses up to approximately 2 times the exposure in humans. Pregnant rabbits were dosed orally with pretomanid during organogenesis (gestational Days 7 through 19) at 10, 30, and 60 mg/kg/day. No evidence of adverse developmental outcomes was observed when oral doses of pretomanid were administered to dams during organogenesis (gestational Days 7 to 19) at doses up to 60 mg/kg/day (approximately 2 times the exposure in humans for a 200 mg dose on an AUC basis).
In a pre- and postnatal development study, there were no adverse developmental effects in pups of pregnant rats orally dosed with up to 20 mg/kg/day from gestational Day 6 through lactation Day 20. Pups of pregnant females dosed at 60 mg/kg/day (about 2 times the exposure for the 200 mg dose) had lower body weights and a slight delay in the age at which the air-drop righting reflex developed. These effects occurred at a maternally toxic dose (based on maternal weight loss and reduced food consumption).
8.2Lactation Risk Summary There is no information regarding the presence of pretomanid in human milk, or its effects on milk production or the breastfed infant. Pretomanid was detected in rat milk (see Data ) . When a drug is present in animal milk, it is likely that the drug will be present in human milk.
Because of the potential for adverse reactions in nursing infants, the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for Pretomanid Tablets and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from Pretomanid Tablets or from the underlying maternal condition. When Pretomanid Tablets are administered in combination with bed…

Data Animal Data In animal reproduction studies, pregnant rats were dosed orally with pretomanid at 10, 30, and 100 mg/kg/day during organogenesis (gestational Days 7 through 17). Rats showed increased post-implantation loss in the presence of maternal toxicity (including reduced body weight and feed consumption) at 100 mg/kg/day, approximately 4 times the exposure in humans for a 200 mg dose on an AUC basis.
There were no adverse embryofetal effects in rats dosed with oral pretomanid during organogenesis at doses up to approximately 2 times the exposure in humans. Pregnant rabbits were dosed orally with pretomanid during organogenesis (gestational Days 7 through 19) at 10, 30, and 60 mg/kg/day. No evidence of adverse developmental outcomes was observed when oral doses of pretomanid were administered to dams during organogenesis (gestational Days 7 to 19) at doses up to 60 mg/kg/day (approximately 2 times the exposure in humans for a 200 mg dose on an AUC basis).
In a pre- and postnatal development study, there were no adverse developmental effects in pups of pregnant rats orally dosed with up to 20 mg/kg/day from gestational Day 6 through lactation Day 20. Pups of pregnant females dosed at 60 mg/kg/day (about 2 times the exposure for the 200 mg dose) had lower body weights and a slight delay in the age at which the air-drop righting reflex developed. These effects occurred at a maternally toxic dose (based on maternal weight loss and reduced food consumption).

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1Mechanism of Action Pretomanid is a nitroimidazooxazine antimycobacterial drug [see Microbiology (12.4) ] .
12.2Pharmacodynamics Cardiac Electrophysiology A randomized, double-blind, placebo- and positive-controlled (moxifloxacin 400 mg), crossover, thorough QT study of pretomanid was performed in 74 healthy adult subjects. At 400 mg (2 times the approved recommended dosage) and 1,000 mg (5 times the approved recommended dosage) single doses of pretomanid, no significant QT prolongation effect was detected. In Trial 1, patients received the combination regimen of Pretomanid Tablets, bedaquiline, and linezolid for 26 weeks.
No patient had QTcF intervals greater than 480 msec, and 1 subject had a post-baseline increase of QTcF of greater than 60 msec following the combination regimen of 200 mg pretomanid once daily, 400 mg bedaquiline once daily for 2 weeks followed by 200 mg bedaquiline 3 times per week thereafter, and 1,200 mg linezolid daily. In Trial 2, in patients who received the combination regimen of Pretomanid Tablets, bedaquiline, and linezolid for 26 weeks, no patient had QTcF intervals greater than 480 msec or post-baseline increase of QTcF of greater than 60 msec following the combination regimen of 200 mg pretomanid once daily, 200 mg bedaquiline once daily for 8 weeks followed by 100 mg bedaquiline once daily thereafter, and 600 mg or 1,200 mg linezolid daily.
12.3Pharmacokinetics Pretomanid AUC and C max were approximately dose proportional over a range of single oral doses from 50 mg (0.25 times the approved recommended dosage) to 200 mg (approved recommended dosage); at single doses greater than 200 mg and up to 1,000 mg (5 times the approved recommended dosage), AUC and C max increased in a less than dose proportional manner. Steady-state pretomanid plasma concentrations were achieved approximately 4 to 6 days following multiple dose administration of 200 mg, and the accumulation ratio was approximately 2.
Pharmacokinetic parameters following single and multiple 200 mg doses of pretomanid in healthy adult subjects are summarized in Table 3. Table 3: Mean (SD) Pretomanid Pharmacokinetic Parameters in Healthy Adult Subjects Under Fasted and Fed Conditions ND - Not Determined. PK Parameter Single Dose 200 mg; Fasted Single Dose 200 mg; Fed Steady State 200 mg QD; Fasted C max (µg/mL) 1.1 (0.2) 2.0 (0.3) 1.7 (0.3) AUC t (µg•hr/mL) - AUC 96hr 28.1 (8.0) 51.6 (10.1) - AUC 24hr 30.2 (3.7) AUC inf (µg•hr/mL) 28.8 (8.3) 53.0 (10.6) ND - Median (minimum, maximum) T max (hr) 4.0 (2.0, 6.0) 5.0 (3.0, 8.1) 4.5 (2.0, 8.0) Vd/F (L) 180 (51.3) 97.0 (17.2) ND CL/F (L/hr) 7.6 (2.5) 3.9 (0.8) ND t ½ (hr) 16.9 (3.1) 17.4 (2.8) 16.0 (1.6) Absorption Effect of Food Administration of an oral tablet dose of pretomanid with a high-fat, high-calorie meal (approximately 150, 250, and 500 to 600 calories from protein, carbohydrate, and fat, respectively) increased mean C max by 76% and mean AUC inf by 88% as compared with the fasted state (see also Table 3 above).
Distribution The plasma protein binding of pretomanid is approximately 86.4%. Elimination See Table 3 above for estimates of apparent oral clearance and half-life of pretomanid. Metabolism Pretomanid is metabolized by multiple reductive and oxidative pathways, with no single pathway considered as major.
In vitro studies using recombinant CYP3A4 demonstrated that this enzyme is responsible for up to approximately 20% of the metabolism of pretomanid. Excretion In healthy adult males receiving 1,100 mg oral 14 C-radiolabeled pretomanid, a mean (SD) of 53% (3.4%) of a radioactive dose was excreted in urine and 38% (2.7%) in feces, primarily as metabolites; approximately 1% of the radioactive dose was excreted in the urine as unchanged pretomanid. Specific Populations No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of pretomanid were observed based on sex, body weight, race (Black, White, or other), pulmonary TB status (resistant to ison…
🧬 Mechanism of Action ▾
12.1Mechanism of Action Pretomanid is a nitroimidazooxazine antimycobacterial drug [see Microbiology (12.4) ] .
Mechanism of Action Pretomanid Tablet is a nitroimidazooxazine antimycobacterial drug. Pretomanid kills actively replicating M. tuberculosis by inhibiting mycolic acid biosynthesis, thereby blocking cell wall production. Under anaerobic conditions, against non-replicating bacteria, pretomanid acts as a respiratory poison following nitric oxide release.
All of these activities require nitro-reduction of pretomanid within the mycobacterial cell by the deazaflavin-dependent nitroreductase, Ddn, which is dependent on the reduced form of the cofactor F 420 . Reduction of F 420 is accomplished by the F 420 -dependent glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, Fgd1.
