Rifinah is a combination drug containing rifampicin and isoniazid. This drug is often used to treat tuberculosis, a serious infectious disease. Rifampin helps kill tuberculosis bacteria, while isoniazid helps prevent tuberculosis bacteria from becoming resistant to rifampicin. Rifinah is usually taken daily and should be taken as directed by your doctor. While taking it, regular blood tests should be done to monitor the effects of the drug on the body. While taking Rifinah, some side effects may occur, such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, etc. If serious side effects occur, seek medical attention immediately. Do not adjust your medication dosage or stop using Rifinah on your own; follow your doctor's advice. If you have any questions or concerns, please check with your doctor immediately.
Directions for use: Please take the medication after a meal to ensure maximum effectiveness and reduce stomach upset. Avoid taking it with calcium-rich foods, such as dairy products. Avoid drinking alcohol while taking this medication to ensure the effectiveness of the medication is not affected. If you have any discomfort or concerns, please consult your doctor immediately.
Dosage Guidelines: For adults, the recommended starting dose is 2 tablets once daily. According to the doctor's instructions, the dosage may be adjusted to 3 tablets once daily. For children, dosage will be based on age and weight, follow your doctor's advice for dosage adjustments. During use, please take the medicine strictly according to the doctor's instructions, and do not increase or decrease the dosage or stop using it on your own. If you have any questions, please check with your doctor.
RIFINAH is a drug used to treat tuberculosis, but it may have some side effects. Some patients may experience headache, vomiting, diarrhea, skin allergies or abnormal liver function after taking RIFINAH. Some people may also experience urine discoloration, vision problems, or neurological reactions. If you experience serious side effects, such as difficulty breathing, rapid heartbeat, or other severe discomfort, seek medical advice immediately. Before seeing a doctor, it is best to tell the doctor about your allergies and other medications you have taken to avoid adverse reactions.
RIFINAH (or its equivalent) is a medicine used to treat tuberculosis, but there are circumstances in which its use is contraindicated. Here are some common no-nos:
1. Anaphylaxis: Patients who are allergic to any of the ingredients in RIFINAH should not use this drug. Allergic reactions may include symptoms such as skin redness and swelling, difficulty breathing, and rash. If these symptoms occur, you should stop using the drug and seek medical attention immediately.
2. Abnormal liver function: Patients with severe liver dysfunction should avoid using RIFINAH as this may lead to further liver damage. Liver function should be checked regularly while using the drug, and the dosage should be adjusted according to your doctor's recommendations.
3. Pregnant and lactating women: Pregnant or lactating women should use RIFINAH under the supervision of a physician. Medications may have adverse effects on the fetus or infant, so dosage and frequency should be strictly controlled.
4. Heparin therapy: RIFINAH should be used with caution in patients receiving heparin therapy as this may increase the risk of bleeding. In this case, patients should have regular blood coagulation tests to ensure safe use of the medication.
In short, before using RIFINAH, you should understand the contraindications in detail and use the drug rationally under the advice of your doctor to ensure therapeutic effect and safety.
Precautions for use: This drug is used to treat tuberculosis. Please use it strictly according to the recommendations of your doctor or pharmacist.
