PRODUCT DETAILS
About Rifacil 6 Kid Tablet
ISONIAZID+PYRIDOXINE+RIFAMPICIN belongs to the group of medicines called anti-tuberculosis drugs primarily used to treat and prevent tuberculosis. Tuberculosis is an infectious disease that mainly affects the lungs, but it can also spread to other body parts such as kidneys, brain, spine, and bone marrow. ISONIAZID+PYRIDOXINE+RIFAMPICIN is also used in the treatment of leprosy (infectious disease-causing skin lesions and nerve damage), legionnaires disease (a type of pneumonia caused by legionella bacteria), and brucellosis (bacterial infection), and serious staphylococcal infections.

Medicinal Benefits of Rifacil 6 Kid Tablet
ISONIAZID+PYRIDOXINE+RIFAMPICIN is a combination of three drugs, namely: Rifampicin, Pyridoxine, and Isoniazid. Rifampicin works by inactivating a bacterial RNA-polymerase, an enzyme that allows TB bacteria to make and replicate essential proteins. Isoniazid prevents the creation of its own protective coating by these bacteria. Together, they destroy the bacteria named Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which causes TB (tuberculosis), and the infection is eliminated. Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) is a water-soluble vitamin that treats and prevents nerve damage (peripheral neuritis) caused by tuberculosis (TB), treating drugs like isoniazid.
