About Ributin Capsule

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that mainly affects the lungs, but it can also spread to other body parts such as the kidneys, brain, spine, and bone marrow. HIV is a virus that weakens the immune system and increases the risk of TB infection.
Ributin Capsule consists of a drug called 'Rifabutin' that comes into 'antimycobacterial'. It works by inactivating a bacterial RNA-polymerase, an enzyme that allows TB bacteria to make and replicate essential proteins. It destroys the bacteria named Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which causes TB (tuberculosis), thus treating TB infection.
Take Ributin Capsule as prescribed by your doctor. You are suggested to take $ame as long as your doctor has prescribed it after checking your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, headache, weakness, muscle pain, heartburn, diarrhea, gas, and numbness or tingling sensation.

Before starting Ributin Capsule, please inform your doctor if you have diabetes, epilepsy, gout, mental health problems, HIV infection, malnutrition, peripheral neuropathy, porphyria, bleeding problems, or kidney or liver problems.

Uses of Ributin Capsule
Medicinal Benefits
Ributin Capsule is indicated in patients dealing with TB caused by HIV infection to prevent or slow down the spread of TB infection. Persons who are living with HIV infection are at risk of developing TB. This disease can quickly progress in persons whose immune system is already weakened by the HIV infection, so Ributin Capsule helps to stop the growth and spread of bacteria responsible for causing and spreading infection. It does so by stopping the synthesis of a protein required by bacteria to grow and spread rapidly.
