Rifampicin tablets belong to the rifamycin class of semi-synthetic, broad-spectrum antibacterial agents. Clinically, they are used to treat tuberculosis, leprosy, and infections caused by various susceptible bacteria. This drug exhibits antibacterial activity against a wide range of pathogenic microorganisms, including *Streptococcus pneumoniae*, *Haemophilus influenzae*, *Neisseria meningitidis*, non-tuberculous mycobacteria, *Mycobacterium leprae*, and enzyme-producing strains of *Staphylococcus aureus*.
