Rimactal Indications

Rimactal is a medicine commonly prescribed for the treatment of bacterial infections caused by susceptible invasive agents – including leprosy and tuberculosis. As part of adjunct therapy, this drug can be used to treat MRSA (methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus). As a prophylactic agent, Rimactal may be used to prevent certain meningococcal infections. Also, this medicine is efficient in treating infections with Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Legionells pneumophila and Haemophilus influenzae – however due to the fact that the above invasive agents are able to rapidly develop a resistance to Rimactal, this drug may not be used in monotherapy for the treatment of these infections.
