rifa-
|
Antituberculars
Examples: rifamate, rifampin, rifapentine, rifater Treats: tuberculosis & M. leprae Side/Adverse-Nursing Care: *Inform clients of orange colored body fluid. *Hepatotoxicity (jaundice, anorexia, and fatigue). Concurrent use with INH & pryazinamide increases risk of hepatotoxicity. Tell clients to avoid alcohol. Use cautiously in patients who have liver dysfunction. *Inform clients about mild abdominal discomfort. *Rifampin accelerates metabolism of warfarin, oral contraceptives, protease inhibitors and NNRITI's (medications for HIV),resulting in diminished effectiveness. Provider may increase the dosage of HIV medications. Monitor PT and INR. Instructed clients to use an alternative form of birth control. * Effectiveness may be evidenced by 3 negative sputum Cultures for TB, usually taking 3 to 6 months to achieve. |

Reduced dosage to 50%. *do not use if creatinine clearance is less than 15 milliliters per minute. *sulfonamides can increase the effects of drugs by inhibiting hepatic metabolism. *Instruct client to take on an empty stomach with full glass of water. Encourage clients to maintain adequate fluid intake throughout the day 23 litres a day. Instruct client to complete full course of antimicrobial therapy even though symptoms may resolve. |
