Immune system disorders: Hypersensitivity, bronchospasm
Gastrointestinal disorders: Clostridium difficile colitis/ Clostridium difficile associated diarrhea
Pyrexia, rash and other hypersensitivity reactions such as eosinophilia, bronchospasm and shock might occur, as has been seen with other antibacterials; a limited number of skin discoloration have been reported
Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS); other severe cutaneous adverse reactions such as SJS, TEN, and acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis
Warnings
Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to rifamycins
Concomitant live bacterial vaccines
Cautions
Monitor hematologic status
Eye pain, redness, loss of vision may indicate inflammatory ocular condition
Joint stiffness, swelling, tenderness or paresthesia may indicate arthralgias or myositis
May have brown-orange color of urine, feces, saliva, sputum, perspiration, tears, and skin
Severe Cutaneous Adverse Reactions
- Severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCAR), such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), and acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) reported
- Closely monitor patients that develop a skin rash; discontinue therapy if lesions progress
- Specifically, for DRESS, a multi-system potential life-threatening SCAR, time to onset of first symptoms may be prolonged; DRESS is a clinical diagnosis, and its clinical presentation remains the basis for decision making; an early withdrawal of therapy is essential because of the syndrome’s mortality and visceral involvement (eg, liver, bone marrow or kidney)
Pregnancy & Lactation
Pregnancy
Rifabutin crosses the placenta
Animal studies
- In rats and rabbit, doses up to 40 times the recommended human daily dose (RHDD) were not teratogenic
- In rats, but fetal viability was decreased at the highest doses and at 8 times RHDD, fetal skeletal variation was observed
- In rabbits, a dose of 16 times RHDD showed maternal toxicity
Lactation
No studies have examined if excreted in breast milk; however, women with HIV infection should not breastfeed
Pregnancy Categories
A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.
B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk. C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done. D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk. X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist. NA: Information not available.Pharmacology

RIFABUTIN - ORAL
(rye-fuh-BYOU-tin)
COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Mycobutin
USES: This medication is used alone or with another medication to help prevent a certain serious infection (Mycobacterium avium complex-MAC). Rifabutin is known as a rifamycin antibiotic. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria.This antibiotic treats and prevents only bacterial infections. It will not work for viral infections (such as common cold, flu). Using any antibiotic when it is not needed can cause it to not work for future infections.
HOW TO USE: Take this medication by mouth with or without food as directed by your doctor, usually once or twice daily. Take this medication with food if stomach upset occurs. For the treatment of tuberculosis, this drug is sometimes taken twice weekly.The dosage is based on your medical condition, weight, response to treatment, and other medications you may be taking. Be sure to tell your doctor and pharmacist about all the products you use (including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products).For the best effect, take this antibiotic at evenly spaced times. To help you remember, take this medication at the same time(s) every day.Continue to take this medication until the full prescribed amount is finished, even if symptoms disappear. Stopping the medication too early or skipping doses may result in a return of the infection and cause the infection to be more difficult to treat (resistant).Tell your doctor if your condition lasts or gets worse.
SIDE EFFECTS: Diarrhea, stomach upset, changes in taste, or nausea/vomiting may occur. If any of these effects last or get worse, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.This medication may cause urine, sweat, saliva, or tears to turn brown-orange. This effect is harmless and will disappear when the medication is stopped. However, dentures and contact lenses may be permanently stained.Remember that this medication has been prescribed because your doctor has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including: nausea/vomiting that doesn't stop, easy bleeding/bruising, muscle weakness/pain, joint pain/swelling, eye pain/redness, vision problems, chest pain/pressure, unusual weakness/tiredness, dark urine, yellowing eyes/skin.This medication may rarely cause a severe intestinal condition due to a bacteria called C. difficile. This condition may occur during treatment or weeks to months after treatment has stopped. Tell your doctor right away if you develop: diarrhea that doesn't stop, abdominal or stomach pain/cramping, blood/mucus in your stool.If you have these symptoms, do not use anti-diarrhea or opioid products because they may make symptoms worse.A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: fever that doesn't go away, new or worsening lymph node swelling, rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.In the US -Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or at www.fda.gov/medwatch.In Canada - Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to Health Canada at 1-866-234-2345.
PRECAUTIONS: Before taking rifabutin, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or to other rifamycins (such as rifampin); or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: kidney disease, liver disease, a certain blood disorder (porphyria).Before having surgery, tell your doctor or dentist about all the products you use (including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products).Rifabutin may cause live bacterial vaccines (such as typhoid vaccine) to not work well. Tell your health care professional that you are using rifabutin before having any immunizations/vaccinations.During pregnancy, this medication should be used only when clearly needed. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor.It is unknown if this medication passes into breast milk. If you have HIV, breast milk may transmit HIV. Consult your doctor before breastfeeding.
DRUG INTERACTIONS: Drug interactions may change how your medications work or increase your risk for serious side effects. This document does not contain all possible drug interactions.

Examples of affected drugs include aprepitant/fosaprepitant, lurasidone, phenytoin, ranolazine, suvorexant, tacrolimus, tasimelteon, "blood thinners" (such as warfarin), calcium channel blockers (such as diltiazem, verapamil), certain combination products used to treat chronic hepatitis C (ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir), among others.This medication may decrease the effectiveness of hormonal birth control such as pills, patch, or ring. This could cause pregnancy. Discuss with your doctor or pharmacist if you should use additional reliable birth control methods while using this medication. Also tell your doctor if you have any new spotting or breakthrough bleeding, because these may be signs that your birth control is not working well.
