- Rifamycin Drug-Drug Interactions: A Guide for Primary Care Providers Treating Latent Tuberculosis Infection, a new educational product created to clarify drug interactions between rifamycins and drugs commonly used in primary care. Developed by the State of California Department of Public Health, TB Control Branch, the Rutgers Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy, the Rutgers Global Tuberculosis Institute, and the Curry International TB Center, the guide was primarily designed for medical providers but may also be useful for public health personnel.
