Experiences with

Rifinah

I’ve just started week 3 of rifinah and the stomach cramps are still bad do these stop or last the whole time I’m on it ?

Started rifinah 6 days ago and am suffering with bad constipation is it ok to take senna ?

Started rifinah for 3 months 4 days ago so far so good when did people get side effects ?? X

Is it safe for me to take Rifinah 300? Thank you

I am currently on rifinah....are those the side effects?do they last for as long as you are taking the medication?

My son has been taking the Rifinah 300/150 mg for a week ... he has 2 months to graduate and cannot concentrate on his studies ... feels very dizzy and sleeps for almost 18 hours ... very worried for him... don’t know what to do as the doc has told him to take the med for 3 months... he is in Uk away

Before starting with Rifinah , the blood pressure was below 140 (130, 120).

Can we move back from Rifinah to Mayrin-p forte in TB treatment. Can all the results be neglected because of a MRS report. how should I deal with the issue, we don't have any specialized doctors for TB meningitis in our country and we have to go to neurosurgeons. any help will be appreciated.

I have bronchiectasis and the doctor has said I will probably have to take antibiotics ( rifinah and ethambutol) for the rest of my life. I know nothing can eradicate the bronchiectasis but even after this long on the antibiotics it doesn't seem to be stabilising.

Liver level test was 251 Monday and will have blood tests weekly, as I feel fine the consultant has said to carry on with my prescription. I get tingly and twitch sensations near my liver area, does this mean anything bad?

I have waited 3 months to see a consultant but finally I have been started on Rifinah to treat the TB, however I have had mixed opinions as to when I can start on Humira. I am in a lot of pain at the moment and would like to start ASAP.

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.
