Can I stop taking RIFIDOR SUSPENSION on my own?

It is recommended to complete the course of RIFIDOR SUSPENSION even if you feel better as it is an antibiotic, and leaving it in between may lead to even severe infection that will, in fact, stop responding to the antibiotic as well (antibiotic resistance).

Can I take RIFIDOR SUSPENSION on my own?

Do not take RIFIDOR SUSPENSION on your own as self-medication may lead to antibiotic-resistance in which antibiotics fail to act against specific bacterial infections. Take RIFIDOR SUSPENSION only if prescribed by a doctor.

Does RIFIDOR SUSPENSION affect diagnostic blood test results?

RIFIDOR SUSPENSION may affect blood tests and liver function tests with increased liver enzymes. Inform the person or doctor before performing the tests that you are taking RIFIDOR SUSPENSION.

For how long is RIFIDOR SUSPENSION prescribed?

For treating traveller’s diarrhoea, RIFIDOR SUSPENSION is generally prescribed for 3 days. For irritable bowel syndrome, RIFIDOR SUSPENSION is prescribed for 14 days. However, it is better to take RIFIDOR SUSPENSION only as prescribed by your doctor.

Can I take RIFIDOR SUSPENSION with blood thinner (Warfarin)?

No, RIFIDOR SUSPENSION may affect the activity and working of warfarin when taken together. So tell your doctor before using RIFIDOR SUSPENSION that you are taking a blood thinner (warfarin). Your doctor might adjust the dose of warfarin to maintain the proper blood-thinning effect and prevent drug interaction.
