MDJunction to me

grandmasylvia"MDJ has been "a soft place to fall" for me as Dr Phil says. I have this very painful rare disease Dercum's Disease and take comfort in finding others here who share their knowledge and compassion. Many
members have helped me just by understanding my anguish and validating
my pain. We are working together to encourage research toward a cure.

Hi

My dad had been put on anti-TB drugs for his eye condition for over 6 weeks now. One of the drug is chemical name RIFA-I-6 conbination(rifampicin 600 mg, isoniazid 300 mg). We have not been able to procure this tablet since pharmacist (many of them) say the production of this drug has been stopped. The doctor still inssists that if that is not available then try and get individual drugs Rifampicin and isonazid and use it. We are currently looking for that. However, we are concerned that if the drug is not available is it banned? what is the risk of its use and why is iy banned. Does anyone have any similar experiences.

Thank you for all the suppport in advance.
