Rcin 600

Rcin from Lupin contains Rifampicin, a rifamycin antibiotic central to tuberculosis treatment. The higher strength is generally used in adults as part of a complete anti-TB regimen.

• Treats tuberculosis in combination with other anti-TB drugs
• Used in leprosy treatment
• Helps prevent spread of meningococcal infection in close contacts

Rifampicin blocks a bacterial enzyme needed to copy genetic material, so the bacteria can no longer multiply and the body's defences can clear them.

Take as prescribed by your doctor. Usually swallowed whole with water on an empty stomach, at least an hour before food.

• Orange-red colour in urine, sweat, and tears (harmless)
• Nausea or stomach upset
• Skin rash or itching
• Changes in liver function tests

Mention any liver disease or alcohol use, and share your full medicine list, as Rifampicin interacts with many drugs including hormonal contraceptives. Complete the full course even when you feel well.

Store below 25 degrees Celsius in a dry place away from sunlight. Keep out of reach of children.
