In this paper, a novel fluorescence carbon dots (FCDs) were proposed to use folic acid as the sole reactant via the pyrolytic way. The gotten FCDs were uniform in size distribution and had an excitation-independent emission feature, and their fluorescence quantum yield was 39.09%. Without additional modification, the acquired FCDs could be used to detect isoniazid by the fluorescence quenching pattern. The reaction mechanism was the synergy of the internal filtration effect and the static quenching effect. The linear range of the detection of isoniazid was 4.0–140 μM, and the detection limit was 1.15 μM. Therefore, the method for the determination of isoniazid was put forward. The method was applied to the detection of isoniazid in isoniazid tablets with the recovery rates of 98.12 to 102.67%, and the results were satisfactory.
