Experiences with
Rifater

2 public posts

Hello, I'm new to this forum...

I was diagnosed with pulmonary TB (& a collapsed lung) in April 2019 and currently have 5 weeks of Rifater left before I am due to end my treatment. Up until 2 weeks ago I was feeling great and excited to be back to normal and enjoying life again!

Are professionals sufficiently concerned about extra-thoracic tuberculosis?

When I was treated in 2000 I was prescribed Rifater for 2 months followed by Rifinah for 4 months. According to NICE Clinical Guideline 117 I should have had Ethambutol for the first 2 months as well. I never felt the disease really left me.
