About Rifampicin
Rifampicin is one of the most important antibiotics in the world, serving as the backbone of tuberculosis (TB) treatment globally and in Nigeria. It belongs to the rifamycin class of antibiotics and works by inhibiting bacterial RNA synthesis — specifically, it blocks the enzyme RNA polymerase, which bacteria need to produce proteins essential for their survival and replication. This mechanism makes rifampicin highly effective at killing Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacterium that causes TB. Nigeria ranks among the World Health Organisation's 30 high-burden countries for tuberculosis, with an estimated 467,000 new TB cases annually and approximately 155,000 TB-related deaths each year. Despite this enormous burden, case detection remains a major challenge — many TB cases go undiagnosed and untreated, particularly in underserved communities across northern Nigeria, urban slums in Lagos, and rural areas with limited access to diagnostic facilities.
