Anyone taking Rifabutin and if so are you taking 2 pills 1x/day or 1 pill 2x/day? I know Rifampin is done both ways but wondering if Rifabutin is also done similarly for some docs. Thx.

One pill 2x per day. Rifabutin is generally better tolerated than Rifampin. I have noticed it also does not turn my urine orange like Rifampin does, so that is good.
