            Instruct patients to notify their physician immediately if they experience rash with fever or blisters, with or without peeling skin, itching, or swollen lymph nodes, loss of appetite, malaise, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, darkened urine, yellowish discoloration of the skin and eyes, myalgias, light-colored bowel movements, cough, shortness of breath, wheezing, and pain or swelling of the joints

            Emphasize compliance with full course of therapy, and importance of not missing any doses

            Bleeding and vitamin K-dependent coagulation disorders reported; monitor coagulation tests in patients at risk of vitamin K deficiency resulting from prolonged use of antibacterial agents, poor nutritional status, chronic liver disease, or use of anticoagulants

            Cases of severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCAR), including Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP), and drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome reported; if symptoms or signs of severe cutaneous adverse reactions develop, discontinue therapy immediately and institute appropriate therapy

            Pulmonary toxicity manifested as interstitial lung disease (including, but not limited to, pneumonitis, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, eosinophilic pneumonia, pulmonary infiltrates, and organizing pneumonia) reported with treatment; pulmonary toxicity could be fatal; if symptoms or signs of severe pulmonary toxicity (including respiratory failure, pulmonary fibrosis, and acute respiratory distress syndrome) develop, discontinue treatment immediately and initiate appropriate treatment

            Cases of thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA), including thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura and hemolytic uremia syndrome, some fatal, reported; discontinue therapy if clinical symptoms and laboratory findings consistent with TMA occur; the findings of unexplained thrombocytopenia and anemia should prompt further evaluation and consideration of the diagnosis of TMA

            Paradoxical drug reactions

            • Postmarketing cases of paradoxical drug reaction (recurrence or appearance of new symptoms, physical and radiological signs in a patient who had previously shown improvement with appropriate antimycobacterial treatment, in the absence of disease relapse, poor treatment compliance, drug resistance, side effects of treatment, or secondary infection/diagnosis)
            • Paradoxical drug reactions are often transient and should not be misinterpreted as failure to respond to treatment; if worsening of symptoms or signs occurs during antimycobacterial treatment, consider paradoxical drug reaction in the differential diagnosis, monitor, or treat accordingly

            Pregnancy & Lactation

            Pregnancy

            No adequate and well-controlled studies have been performed in pregnant women; has been shown to be teratogenic in rodents

            Rifampin has been reported to cross the placental barrier and appear in cord blood

            When administered during the last few weeks of pregnancy, rifampin can cause postnatal hemorrhages in the mother and infant for which treatment with vitamin K may be indicated

            Use during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus

            Animal studies

            • Congenital malformations, primarily spina bifida, were increased in offspring of pregnant rats given rifampin during organogenesis at oral doses of 150-250 mg/kg/day (~1-2 times the maximum recommended human dose [MRHD] based on body surface area comparisons)
            • Cleft palate was increased in a dose-dependent fashion in fetuses of pregnant mice treated at oral doses of 50-200 mg/kg (~0.2-0.8 times MRHD)
            • Imperfect osteogenesis and embryotoxicity were also reported in pregnant rabbits given rifampin at oral doses up to 200 mg/kg/day (~3 times MRHD)

            Lactation

            Because of potential for tumorigenicity shown for rifampin in animal studies, a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or discontinue drug, taking into account importance of drug to mother

            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.
