Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API)
Rifampicin
Anti-Tuberculosis Agent
A key first-line drug for the treatment of TB and leprosy. It works by inhibiting bacterial DNA-dependent RNA polymerase. Rifampicin is a powerful enzyme inducer in the liver, meaning it dramatically speeds up the metabolism of many other drugs. A notable, harmless side effect is that it turns body fluids (urine, sweat) a reddish-orange color.
