What is Rifapentine Capsule?

Rifapentine capsules are generally classified as an antibiotic. Specific analysis is as follows:

The main active ingredient in rifapentine capsules is rifapentine, an antibiotic commonly used in combination with other anti-tuberculosis drugs (such as rifampicin capsules and isoniazid tablets) for the initial and retreatment of various forms of tuberculosis. However, it is not suitable for treating tuberculous meningitis. This medication can also be used to treat infections caused by non-tuberculous mycobacteria. Possible adverse reactions after taking this drug include rash, dizziness, and insomnia, although these symptoms are usually mild and not a cause for excessive concern. Patients with severe liver dysfunction, biliary obstruction, or pregnant women should not use this medication.

Patients are advised to take the medication as directed by their physician. If any discomfort occurs, prompt medical attention should be sought, and treatment should be conducted under the doctor's guidance to promote recovery.
