About Rifacept Kid-3 Tablet
Rifacept Kid-3 Tablet belongs to the group of anti-tuberculosis drugs, primarily used to treat and prevent tuberculosis. Tuberculosis is an infectious disease that mainly affects the lungs but can also spread to other body parts such as the kidneys, brain, spine, and bone marrow.
Rifacept Kid-3 Tablet combines four drugs: Isoniazid, Pyrazinamide, Pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6), and Rifampicin. Isoniazid inhibits the biosynthesis of mycolic acid, which is the major component of the bacterial cell wall. Pyrazinamide is an antibiotic that works by stopping the growth of bacteria that cause tuberculosis. Pyridoxine hydrochloride treats nerve damage (neuritis) caused by tuberculosis. Rifampicin inhibits DNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity in the bacteria.
Rifacept Kid-3 Tablet is for paediatric use only. Give Rifacept Kid-3 Tablet to children as advised by the doctor. Rifacept Kid-3 Tablet may cause some common side effects such as muscle/joint pain, nausea, vomiting, rash, dark-coloured urine, weakness, dry mouth, stomach pain, and upset stomach. These side effects are not familiar to everyone and vary individually. If you notice any side effects that are not manageable, please consult your doctor.
Before using the Rifacept Kid-3 Tablet , please inform your doctor of your children's or caregiver's medical conditions, sensitivities, and all drugs they are taking. Continue using Rifacept Kid-3 Tablet for as long as your doctor has prescribed to treat your child's illness effectively.
