Rofact description. Rifampin (rif-AM-pin) is used to treat certain bacterial infections. Rifampin is used with other medicines to treat tuberculosis (TB). Rifampin is also taken by itself by patients who may carry meningitis bacteria in their nose and throat (without feeling sick) and may spread these bacteria to others. Rofact may also be used for other problems as determined by your doctor. However, rifampin will not work for colds, flu, or other virus infections. To help clear up your tuberculosis (TB) completely, you must keep taking Rofact for the full time of treatment, even if you begin to feel better. This is very important. It is also important that you do not miss any doses.
