Rhe-FD Tablet (Rifampicin 450mg / Isoniazid 300mg / Ethambutol 800mg)

Rhe-FD 450MG TABLET belongs to the group antibiotics called ‘antituberculosis agents‘ used to treat tuberculosis (TB) caused by a bacteria mycobacterium tuberculin. Infectious or harmful bacteria can make you sick and reproduce quickly in your body. These harmful bacteria produce toxins which can damage tissue and make you sick. Tuberculosis (TB) usually attacks your lungs and can spread to the brain and spine also. Common signs and symptoms of TB include fever, cough (sometimes blood-tinged), weight loss, and night sweats.

Rhe-FD 450MG TABLET is made up of the three medicines Rifampicin, Ethambutol, Isoniazid. Rifampicin acts by inhibiting DNA synthesis (a process required for bacterial growth and division).

This ultimately prevents or kills the bacteria and prevents its spread.
