Rifinah 300/150Mg 8Tab

Rifinah is a medication used to treat tuberculosis and contains two active ingredients: Rifampicin and Isoniazid. This medication belongs to the class of antibacterial drugs and is primarily used to treat infections caused by the bacteria responsible for tuberculosis.

Rifinah works by inhibiting the growth of the bacteria that cause tuberculosis by affecting the structure of bacterial DNA. Rifampicin inhibits the enzyme RNA polymerase, preventing the formation of essential proteins for bacteria, while Isoniazid works to inhibit the synthesis of essential fatty acids. This synergy between the two substances enhances treatment effectiveness and reduces the risk of bacterial resistance. Rifinah is used as part of a comprehensive treatment regimen for tuberculosis, contributing to improved treatment outcomes and reduced infection duration.
