Summary
Experiments were performed to assess the therapeutic effect of varying the dose and the time of initiation of treatment with nicotinamide in tuberculous mice.

Therapy with coenzyme I in addition to nicotinamide greatly increased survival. No synergy occurred with known tuberculostatic drugs.
