It is essential to follow the instructions regarding dosage, administration interval, and treatment duration as indicated by your doctor.

Do not store or reuse this medicine. If you have any leftover antibiotic after completing treatment, return it to the pharmacy for proper disposal. Do not throw medicines down the drain or in the trash.

It is used in adults for the prevention of Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare (MAC)infections in patients with HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) infection, when clinically necessary.

Ansatipin is also used in adults for the treatment of the following infections when other treatments are not suitable:

  • Treatment of symptomatic localized or disseminated infection caused by atypical mycobacteria (such as Mycobacterium aviumand other species) in patients with HIV infection.
  • Treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis (Mycobacterium tuberculosis) when treatment with rifampicin is not suitable due to the risk of pharmacological interactions or in cases of resistance to rifampicin and confirmed sensitivity to rifabutin.

For the treatment of atypical mycobacteria and pulmonary tuberculosis, Ansatipin will always be given in combination with other active anti-mycobacterial drugs.

Consult your doctor if you have any questions about how Ansatipin works or why it has been prescribed for you.
