What is Priftin?

Priftin is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by Sanofi. Priftin is a rifamycin antibiotic. It blocks an enzyme bacteria need to produce proteins, thus preventing the bacteria from spreading.

Priftin is indicated for use in patients 12 years of age and older for the treatment of active tuberculosis (active TB) caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis in combination with one or more antituberculosis (anti-TB) drug to which the isolate is susceptible. Priftin is also indicated for the treatment of latent tuberculosis infection (latent TB) caused by M. tuberculosis in combination with isoniazid in patients 2 years of age and older at high risk of progression to TB disease.

What doses of Priftin are available?

Priftin is available in tablet form, in the following doses: 150 mg.

Priftin should not be used alone in either the initial or the continuation phases of antituberculous treatment. In the initial phase take 600 mg twice weekly for two months by direct observation of therapy, with an interval of no less than 3 consecutive days (72 hours) between doses, in combination with other antituberculosis drugs. In the continuation phase (4 Months) take 600 mg once weekly for 4 months by direct observation therapy with isoniazid or another appropriate antituberculous agent. Administration of vitamin B6 during treatment is recommended in order to avoid INH-associated peripheral neuropathy. Do not use as a once-weekly continuation phase regimen with isoniazid in HIV seropositive patients due to the risk of failure and/or relapse with rifampin-resistant organisms.

Please read the medication guide and always speak with a healthcare professional for medical advice about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.
