Take exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The dose and how long you take it depend on what you are being treated for and how you respond. Do not take more, or for longer, than your doctor has advised.
The side effects seen most often with Rifigon 400 mg Tablet are nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhoea. Most are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. Tell your doctor if one persists or worries you.
Before you start, tell your doctor about any liver, kidney or heart problem, whether you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding, and every other medicine you take, including supplements and ayurvedic preparations. Some of them can change how Rifigon 400 mg Tablet works.
Most side effects of Rifigon are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:
Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.
Take exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Usually taken orally on an empty stomach (1 hour before or 2 hours after food) with water; take at the same time each day. For TB, it must be used in combination with other anti-tubercular medicines; do not stop early.
Rifampicin is a rifamycin antibiotic that inhibits bacterial DNA-dependent RNA polymerase, blocking RNA synthesis. This prevents bacterial multiplication and helps clear susceptible infections, especially Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Prescription-only anti-tubercular medicine. Risk of liver toxicity—use caution in liver disease, alcoholism, elderly, or when used with other hepatotoxic drugs; monitor liver function. May cause severe allergic reactions, thrombocytopenia or kidney problems rarely—seek medical help for unusual bleeding/bruising, severe rash, jaundice, dark urine, persistent vomiting or abdominal pain. Can stain soft contact lenses due to orange-red body fluid discoloration. Adherence is critical in TB to prevent resistance.
Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.
An overdose of this medicine can cause severe liver injury, confusion and fits. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.
Store below 25°C in a dry place, protected from light and moisture. Keep in original blister pack and out of reach of children.
