Rifadin (Rifampicin)
- Take Rifampicin capsules exactly as prescribed. Do not stop without consulting your doctor. It is important to take the entire drug prescribed for you, even if you feel better. Do no miss any doses. Take Rifampicin on an empty stomach, either 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal, with a full glass of water. Wait at least 1 hour before taking an antacid, as antacids may interfere with the drug. If needed, your doctor may suggest taking vitamin B6 while you are on Rifampicin therapy. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the one you missed and go back to your regular schedule. Never take 2 doses at once. Store Rifampicin at room temperature. Protect from moisture.
