I was wondering what sort of side effects can occur.
Answer:
The most common side effect of rifampin is orange coloured urine and stools. It can also damage liver and kidneys.
I am right now and everything is wonderful!
Rifampin is a synthetic antibiotic used to treat TB and certain types of meningitis. Some side effects can include, but NOT limited to headaches, heartburn, the runs, rash, vomiting, etc.
Rifampicin is used to treat TB. It is also used to prevent meningitis in contacts.Side effects include elevation of liver enzymes and derangement of liver function, reduced platelets (thrombocytopenia) and raised blood urea nitrogen due to impairment of kidney function. Liver function impairment is more common so baseline liver function tests are done before starting treatment and also during treatment.
Lots of good answers here, but the annoying and frequent thing is that yellowing of various body fluids. Not harmful, but disconcerting if you're not forwarned.
