R Cin 300 MG Description

R Cin Capsules are used in the treatment of tuberculosis or TB infection. Tuberculosis is a very contagious bacterial infection that affects the functioning of the lungs. It is composed of a single a

ctive ingredient, rifampicin. It is an anti-tuberculosis (anti-TB) or anti-infective medication. It works by reducing the bacteria in the body and reducing the infection. It is essential not to stop using this medicine in the middle of the treatment, even if you feel better. It is often used with other anti-TB medications to manage tuberculosis. Doctors usually prescribe the usage of R Cin Capsule for at least a few weeks to months, depending on certain factors. They will assess your condition and decide on a treatment plan. TB bacteria die very slowly; hence, the treatment is usually long. It also can quickly develop resistance to the medicines. So, it is important to complete the entire course of treatment without stopping. Or else, the infection might come back, and it would get even harder to treat.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

^

Q: Should I stop using the R Cin Capsule if I am feeling better?

A: No, do not stop using the R Cin Capsule any time in the middle of the treatment, even if you think you are feeling better. Tuberculosis bacteria die very slowly, and it takes a long time to eliminate them completely. In case you stop in the middle, these bacteria multiply again and sometimes gain resistance to the current treatment. This causes reinfection and makes it even harder to kill the Tuberculosis bacteria.

Q: Can I wear contact lenses while using the R Cin Capsule?

A: It is not ideal to wear contact lenses while on this treatment. R Cin medicine can change the colour of eyes, urine, etc., to orange. This colour change is not harmful. However, it can permanently change the colour of your contact lenses.

Q: Can I use the R Cin Capsule if I am using aspirin?

A: Let your doctor know about your medical history and treatments before taking this medicine. Using an R Cin Capsule with medications that cause bleeding will increase the chances of bleeding. It lowers the levels of vitamin K, which is needed for blood clotting. Therefore, vitamin K supplements are recommended.
