  Rifampin can be administered by the oral route (see INDICATIONS AND USAGE). See CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY for dosing information in patients with renal failure.

  Tuberculosis

  Adults: 10 mg/kg, in a single daily administration, not to exceed 600 mg/day, orally.

  Pediatric Patients: 10 to 20 mg/kg, not to exceed 600 mg/day, orally.

  It is recommended that oral rifampin capsule be administered once daily, either 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal with a full glass of water.

  Rifampin is indicated in the treatment of all forms of tuberculosis. A three-drug regimen consisting of rifampin, isoniazid, and pyrazinamide (e.g., RIFATER® (Sanofi-aventis U.S. LLC)) is recommended in the initial phase of short-course therapy which is usually continued for 2 months. The Advisory Council for the Elimination of Tuberculosis, the American Thoracic Society, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that either streptomycin or ethambutol be added as a fourth drug in a regimen containing isoniazid (INH), rifampin and pyrazinamide for initial treatment of tuberculosis unless the likelihood of INH resistance is very low. The need for a fourth drug should be reassessed when the results of susceptibility testing are known. If community rates of INH resistance are currently less than 4%, an initial treatment regimen with less than four drugs may be considered.

  Following the initial phase, treatment should be continued with rifampin and isoniazid (e.g., RIFAMATE® (Sanofi-aventis U.S. LLC)) for at least 4 months. Treatment should be continued for longer if the patient is still sputum or culture positive, if resistant organisms are present, or if the patient is HIV positive.

  Meningococcal Carriers

  Adults: For adults, it is recommended that 600 mg rifampin be administered twice daily for two days.

  Pediatric Patients: Pediatric patients 1 month of age or older: 10 mg/kg (not to exceed 600 mg per dose) every 12 hours for two days.

  Pediatric patients under 1 month of age: 5 mg/kg every 12 hours for two days.

  Preparation of Extemporaneous Oral Suspension

  For pediatric and adult patients in whom capsule swallowing is difficult or where lower doses are needed, a liquid suspension may be prepared as follows:

  Rifampin 1% w/v suspension (10 mg/mL) can be compounded using one of four syrups-Simple Syrup (Syrup NF), Simple Syrup (Humco Laboratories), Syrpalta® Syrup (Emerson Laboratories) or Raspberry Syrup (Humco Laboratories).

  • Empty the contents of four Rifampin 300 mg capsules or eight Rifampin 150 mg capsules onto a piece of weighing paper. • If necessary, gently crush the capsule contents with a spatula to produce a fine powder. • Transfer the rifampin powder blend to a 4-ounce amber glass or plastic (high density polyethylene [HDPE], polypropylene, or polycarbonate) prescription bottle. • Rinse the paper and spatula with 20 mL of one of the above mentioned syrups, and add the rinse to the bottle. Shake vigorously. • Add 100 mL of syrup to the bottle and shake vigorously.

  This compounding procedure results in a 1% w/v suspension containing 10 mg rifampin/mL. Stability studies indicate that the suspension is stable when stored at room temperature (25 ± 3° C) or in a refrigerator (2 to 8° C) for four weeks. This extemporaneously prepared suspension must be shaken well prior to administration.
