What is Priftin?

Priftin (rifapentine) is a generic antibiotic used to treat mycobacterial infections: tuberculosis, a dangerous lung infection; leprosy, a chronic infection of the skin and nerves; and mycobacterium avium complex (MAC), an infection of the lungs, lymph nodes, and, sometimes, the entire body. Tuberculosis, leprosy, and MAC are extremely difficult and time-consuming to treat.

Rifapentine belongs to a class of antibiotics known as antimycobacterials or rifamycins. Priftin works by interfering with the mycobacteria's ability to form the proteins it needs to function properly.

Because tuberculosis, MAC, and leprosy take months to treat (6-9 for tuberculosis, 6-12 for leprosy, and 12-18 for MAC), multiple drugs are used in sequence to prevent drug resistance.
