Rifampicin 600mg Capsules
SKU GME431Product Introduction
Rifampicin 600mg capsule is a rifamycin antibiotic used with other medicines for active tuberculosis and in selected specialist infection or prevention regimens. It is a major component of combination TB treatment, where consistent treatment limits failure and resistance.
How to use
Swallow the capsule with a full glass of water on an empty stomach, at least one hour before or two hours after food. For active tuberculosis, take the full planned combination, not rifampicin alone. Missed or interrupted treatment needs the TB team's advice rather than self-directed restarting.
How it works
Rifampicin blocks bacterial RNA production, stopping bacteria from multiplying. In tuberculosis it is used with other medicines to prevent resistance.
Side effects
Side effects may include nausea, vomiting, stomach upset, orange-red body fluids, headache, dizziness, fever, low platelets, rash, and liver-test changes.
Important information
Do not stop early. Liver monitoring may be needed. Rifampicin interacts with many medicines and can reduce hormonal contraceptive effectiveness.
Uses
- Tuberculosis combination treatment
- selected serious bacterial infections
- selected carrier-state or prophylaxis regimens.
Benefits
Provides potent rifamycin activity against tuberculosis bacteria and other selected organisms when used as part of a correct combination regimen.
