What rifampicin is used for

Rifampicin is an antibacterial agent of the rifamycin class. As prescribed by a physician, it is used in combination regimens for the treatment of tuberculosis and for other infections caused by rifampicin-susceptible bacteria. It is always combined with other antibacterial medicines as directed by the treating doctor, which helps prevent the development of resistance.

How to use

The dose and duration of treatment are determined by the physician, taking into account the patient's body weight and the disease being treated. Capsules are typically taken once daily on an empty stomach, because food reduces the absorption of rifampicin. Do not change the dose or interrupt the course without consulting your doctor.

Possible side effects

Rifampicin may colour urine, tears and sweat orange-red; this effect is harmless. Other possible effects include nausea, loss of appetite, abdominal discomfort and elevated liver enzymes. Allergic reactions are rare. Consult your doctor if severe skin reactions, persistent nausea, jaundice or other unusual symptoms appear.

Important precautions

• Use strictly as prescribed and under medical supervision.
• Tell your doctor about liver or kidney disease and about every medicine you take: rifampicin interacts with many medicines, including oral contraceptives, anticoagulants and antidiabetic drugs.
• Limit alcohol during treatment.
• Liver function is usually monitored during long courses.

Storage

Store at room temperature, protected from moisture and direct sunlight, out of reach of children. Keep capsules in the original PTP packaging until use.
