Rifabutin is an antibiotic used primarily to treat tuberculosis and prevent opportunistic infections caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It is often used with other medications to enhance their effectiveness. Rifabutin kills bacteria by interfering with their protein synthesis. Some side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and rash may occur while using rifabutin. Be sure to use the medication correctly as directed by your doctor and follow the dosage and usage instructions on the medication package insert. If serious side effects or allergic reactions occur, seek medical attention immediately. Avoid interactions with other medications, including over-the-counter medicines and supplements. Rifabutin may affect how certain medicines work, so tell your doctor about the medicines you are taking before using other medicines.
Directions for use: The medication should be taken orally, preferably after meals to reduce the possibility of stomach upset. While taking it, avoid taking it with certain foods such as grapefruit juice, as it may affect drug absorption. Additionally, overexposure to the sun should be avoided because the medication may increase skin sensitivity to sunlight.
Dosing Guidelines: Adults are generally recommended to take 300 mg to 450 mg daily, divided into one or two divided doses. For children, dosage is adjusted based on body weight, with 5 mg to 10 mg daily recommended. When starting treatment, the doctor may adjust the dose based on the patient's specific condition and monitor the condition regularly to ensure efficacy and safety. If there is any ambiguity or doubt, you should ask your doctor or pharmacist for more detailed guidance.

When taking this medicine, you should pay attention to your physical condition and see your doctor regularly. If you develop serious side effects, such as difficulty breathing, chest pain, or jaundice, seek medical advice immediately. Remember, it's best to talk to your doctor before taking any medication.

1. Raifudin should not be used in the first to third months of pregnancy. Therefore, this period is the most critical period for the baby's development, and it is necessary to avoid affecting the baby's development.
2. If you are pregnant or suspected of being pregnant, you should inform your doctor immediately so that the doctor can evaluate the risks of continuing to use Raifudin.
3. When using Raifudin during pregnancy, please closely follow your doctor's advice and ensure the correct dosage to reduce possible effects on the fetus.
