Appropriate studies on the relationship of age to the effects of ethambutol have not been performed in children up to 13 years of age. Ethambutol is generally not recommended in children whose visual acuity cannot be monitored (younger than 6 years of age). However, ethambutol should be considered for all children with organisms resistant to other medications, and in whom susceptibility to ethambutol has been demonstrated or is likely.
Thomson/Micromedex. Drug Information for the Health Care Professional. Volume 1, Greenwood Village, CO. 2007., p. 1335
The most important adverse effect of ethambutol is optic neuritis with decreases in visual acuity, constriction of visual fields, central and peripheral scotomas, and loss of red-green color discrimination. The extent of ocular toxicity appears to be related to the dose and duration of ethambutol therapy. However, such toxicity also has been reported rarely after only a few days of therapy with the drug, and may represent an idiosyncratic reaction.
McEvoy, G.K. (ed.). American Hospital Formulary Service. AHFS Drug Information. American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, Bethesda, MD. 2007., p. 551
Other adverse effects of ethambutol include dermatitis, pruritus, headache, malaise, dizziness, fever, mental confusion, disorientation, possible hallucinations, joint pain, and rarely anaphylactoid reactions. GI upset, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and anorexia have also occurred occasionally with ethambutol. Peripheral neuritis, with numbness and tingling of the extremities, has been reported infrequently. Increased serum uric acid concentrations and precipitation of acute gout have occurred occasionally in patients receiving ethambutol and are probably the result of decreased renal clearance of urate. Transient impairment of liver function, as indicated by abnormal liver function test results, has also occurred. Cholestatic jaundice, which appeared to be caused by ethambutol, has been reported in at least one patient who received the drug both alone and in conjunction with streptomycin.
McEvoy, G.K. (ed.). American Hospital Formulary Service. AHFS Drug Information. American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, Bethesda, MD. 2007., p. 551
Visual testing should be performed prior to initiating ethambutol therapy and then periodically during therapy with the drug. Testing should be done monthly in patients receiving more than 15 mg/kg daily. Examinations should include ophthalmoscopy, finger perimetry, and testing of color discrimination. Patients developing adverse ocular effects during ethambutol therapy may show subjective visual symptoms either before or simultaneously with decreases in visual acuity. All patients receiving the drug should be questioned periodically about blurred vision and other subjective visual symptoms and should be instructed to report to their physicians any such changes as soon as they are noticed. If substantial changes in visual acuity occur, ethambutol should be discontinued immediately.

Ethambutol is indicated in combination with other anti-tuberculosis drugs in the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis. Ethambutol is commonly used in combination with [isoniazid], [rifampin], and [pyrazinamide].
FDA Label
Ethambutol is indicated in combination with other anti-tuberculosis drugs in the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis. It has a long duration of action as it is administered daily, and a moderate therapeutic window. Patients should be counselled regarding the risk of optic neuritis and hepatic toxicity.
Antitubercular Agents
Drugs used in the treatment of tuberculosis. They are divided into two main classes: "first-line" agents, those with the greatest efficacy and acceptable degrees of toxicity used successfully in the great majority of cases; and "second-line" drugs used in drug-resistant cases or those in which some other patient-related condition has compromised the effectiveness of primary therapy. (See all compounds classified as Antitubercular Agents.)

Absorption
Oral ethambutol is approximately 75-80% orally bioavailable. A 25 mg/kg oral dose of ethambutol reaches a Cmax of 2-5 g/mL, with a Tmax of 2-4 hours. In a separate study, the AUC0-8 varied from 6.3 5.5 h\*mg/L to 10.8 7.6 h\*mg/L depending on CYP1A2 genetic polymorphisms.
Route of Elimination
Ethambutol is 50% eliminated in the urine as the unmetabolized parent compound and 8-15% as inactive metabolites. 20-22% of a dose is eliminated unchanged in the feces.
Volume of Distribution
Patients coinfected with tuberculosis and HIV have an estimated ethambutol volume of distribution of 76.2 L.
Clearance
Patients coinfected with tuberculosis and HIV have an estimated ethambutol oral clearance of 77.4 L/h.
Approximately 75-80% of an oral dose of ethambutol hydrochloride is rapidly absorbed from the GI tract. Absorption is not substantially affected when the drug is administered with food. Following a single oral ethambutol hydrochloride dose of 25 mg/kg, peak serum ethambutol concentrations of 2-5 mcg/mL are attained within 2-4 hours; serum concentrations of the drug are undetectable 24 hours after the dose.
McEvoy, G.K. (ed.). American Hospital Formulary Service. AHFS Drug Information. American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, Bethesda, MD. 2007., p. 551
There is no evidence that accumulation of the drug occurs when ethambutol doses of 25 mg/kg are given once daily in patients with normal renal function. Serum concentrations of the drug are higher and accumulation may occur when ethambutol is used in patients with impaired renal function.
McEvoy, G.K. (ed.). American Hospital Formulary Service. AHFS Drug Information. American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, Bethesda, MD. 2007., p. 551
Ethambutol is widely distributed into most body tissues and fluids. Highest concentrations of the drug are found in erythrocytes, kidneys, lungs, and saliva; lower drug concentrations are found in ascitic fluid, pleural fluid, brain, and CSF. Peak intracellular concentrations of ethambutol in erythrocytes are about twice peak plasma concentrations and maintain this ratio for at least 24 hours after a single oral dose. In patients with meningitis, administration of an oral ethambutol hydrochloride dose of 25 mg/kg has produced peak CSF concentrations of the drug ranging from 0.15-2.0 ug/mL.

Six normal adult volunteers were administered 15 mg/kg of ethambutol (EMB) by a constant-rate 1-hr infusion. Plasma and urine samples were collected up to 24 and 72 hr, respectively. ... Subsequent postinfusion EMB levels exhibited multiphasic decay. In the 12-hr period following infusion, EMB levels showed biexponential decay. However, 24-hr plasma levels in all subjects were observed to be higher than those predicted using a two-compartment body model. The alpha phase in these subjects had a mean half-life of 8.6 min while the half-life of the beta phase ranged from 2.5 to 3.6 hr (mean 3.1). The half-life of the gamma phase estimated from plasma data points between 12 and 24 hr averaged 1.2 +/- 3.6 hr. A terminal gamma t1/2 of 15.4 +/- 1.7 hr was calculated from 12-72 hr urine data. ... Plasma EMB clearance ranged from 7.47 to 8.87 mL/min/kg (mean 8.57). ...

Ethambutol diffuses into _Mycobacterium_ cells. Once inside the cell, ethambutol inhibits the arabinosyltransferases (embA, embB, and embC), preventing formation of the cell wall components arabinogalactan and lipoarabinomannan, and preventing cell division. Decreased concentrations of arabinogalactan in the cell wall reduces the number of binding sites for mycolic acid, leading to the accumulation of mycolic acid, trehalose monomycolate, and trehalose dimycolate. Lipoarabinomannan is a component of a cell surface molecule involved in the interaction with host cells. Reduced levels of lipoarabinomannan may interfere with mycobacterial interaction with host cells.
Ethambutol is bacteriostatic in action. Although the exact mechanism of action has not been fully elucidated, the drug appears to inhibit the synthesis of one or more metabolites in susceptible bacteria resulting in impairment of cellular metabolism, arrest of multiplication, and cell death. Ethambutol is active against susceptible bacteria only when they are undergoing cell division.
