Rifapentine is a long-acting rifamycin antibiotic used primarily in the treatment of tuberculosis (TB), including latent TB infection and active pulmonary TB. It acts by inhibiting DNA-dependent RNA polymerase in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Rifapentine is approved by several regulatory agencies including the FDA and is commonly used in combination regimens with other anti-tuberculous agents.
