Ripe Fd Strip Of 4 Tablets Description

Ripe Fd Tablet aids in treating and preventing tuberculosis (TB). It consists of five active ingredients: Isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide, ethambutol, and pyridoxine. All of them, except pyridoxi

ne, are anti-tuberculosis (anti-TB) medicines. The mode of action of the Ripe Fd tablet is to kill the bacteria, and each active ingredient does it differently. It is crucial not to stop using Ripe Fd tablets in the middle of the treatment, even if you feel better. Tuberculosis is a very contagious bacterial infection that affects the lungs. TB bacteria die very slowly and quickly develop resistance to anti-tuberculosis medicines. Hence, different combinations of anti-tuberculosis medications are used to kill them. Protecting nerves from damage due to Tb medicines is also one of the uses of the Ripe Fd tablets. Follow your doctor's directions for using Ripe Fd tablets. They usually prescribe them for at least a few months, depending on the patient's condition. Continue the therapy for the entire course without discontinuing. Or else, the infection can return, sometimes with increased severity. It will get harder to treat TB if the bacteria develop resistance to the medication. This medicine can lower vitamin B6 levels leading to nerve-related problems, a side effect of Ripe Fd tablets.
