R-CIN 300mg (Rifampicin Capsule) 300 mg

R-CIN 300mg is used to treat a range of bacterial infections, particularly those affecting the respiratory and nervous systems. It is effective against tuberculosis, leprosy, and other serious bacterial infections.

• Tuberculosis: Treats and manages tuberculosis by stopping the growth of the bacteria causing the infection.
• Leprosy: Helps manage leprosy, which causes skin lesions and nerve damage.
• Brucellosis: Treats infections that spread from animals to humans.
• Legionnaires' disease: Manages lung inflammation caused by bacterial infection.
• Serious staphylococcal infections: Effective against severe infections caused by staphylococci.
• Haemophilus influenzae and Neisseria meningitides: Manages infections caused by these bacteria, which can lead to flu and meningitis.

• R-CIN 300mg works by inhibiting bacterial DNA-dependent RNA polymerase, which suppresses RNA synthesis. This action prevents the bacteria from producing essential proteins, leading to their death. By reducing the count of infection-causing bacteria, R-CIN 300mg effectively manages bacterial infections.
