Rifa 1 6 Forte Tablet 10's belongs to the group of medicines called anti-tuberculosis drugs primarily used to treat and prevent tuberculosis. Tuberculosis is an infectious disease that mainly affects the lungs, but it can also spread to other body parts such as the kidneys, brain, spine, and bone marrow. Rifa 1 6 Forte Tablet 10's is also used in the treatment of leprosy (infectious disease-causing skin lesions and nerve damage), legionnaires disease (a type of pneumonia caused by legionella bacteria), brucellosis (bacterial infection), and serious staphylococcal infections.
Rifa 1 6 Forte Tablet 10's is a combination of three drugs, namely: Rifampicin, Pyridoxine (vitamin B6), and Isoniazid. Rifampicin works by inactivating a bacterial RNA-polymerase, an enzyme that allows TB bacteria to make and replicate essential proteins. Isoniazid prevents the creation of its protective coating by these bacteria. Together, they destroy the bacteria named Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which causes TB (tuberculosis), and the infection is eliminated. Vitamin B6 treats nerve damage (neuritis) caused by tuberculosis (TB), treating drugs like isoniazid.
