Rimactane is used as an effective drug in treating a group of diseases and bacterial infections that affect the body. This drug is often prescribed to treat tuberculosis as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes other anti-tuberculosis drugs to ensure the complete elimination of the causative bacteria.
Rimactane is used in some other cases, such as preventing or treating infections caused by bacteria that cause meningococcal disease, in order to prevent the spread of infection among people at risk of exposure to it.
