About R-Cin Suspension
R-Cin Suspension is used in combination with other medicines to treat tuberculosis (TB). Tuberculosis is an infectious respiratory disease that affects the lungs but can also spread to other body parts such as the kidneys, brain, spine, and bone marrow. It is also used to treat other bacterial infections. R-Cin Suspension does not work against infections caused by the virus, including cold and flu. The bacteria causing tuberculosis (TB) are highly contagious and spread from one person to another via tiny droplets released into the air (through coughs or sneezes).
R-Cin Suspension consists of a drug called 'rifampicin', which works by inactivating a bacterial protein enzyme (RNA-polymerase) and inhibiting bacterial cell death. R-Cin Suspension acts against the bacteria called Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which causes TB (tuberculosis).
R-Cin Suspension should be taken as recommended by your doctor. It should be taken 30 minutes before food or 2 hours after food on an empty stomach. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects, such as drowsiness, dizziness, headache, weakness, muscle pain, heartburn, diarrhoea, gas, and numbness or tingling sensations. Most of these side effects are mild and subside over time. However, if any of these effects persist, contact your doctor immediately.
R-Cin Suspension may raise liver enzymes like ALT and can cause jaundice if taken for a long time. Hence, a regular liver function test (LFT) is recommended while taking treatment with R-Cin Suspension . Maintain a gap of one hour between R-Cin Suspension and antacid medicines. R-Cin Suspension is not recommended if you are pregnant or planning for pregnancy. Avoid breastfeeding while taking R-Cin Suspension as it passes into breast milk. R-Cin Suspension may cause dizziness and vision problems; hence, avoid driving vehicles or operating machines that require mental concentration. Avoid alcohol consumption while taking R-Cin Suspension as it could lead to increased drowsiness, dizziness, and liver damage.

R-Cin Suspension is active against gram-positive cocci bacteria like Mycobacteria and Clostridium difficile and gram-negative bacteria like Neisseria meningitides, N. gonorrhoeae and Hemophilus influenzae. R-Cin Suspension is also used as a second-line treatment in the treatment of cholestatic pruritus.
