Mycobacterium avium complex infection:
Note: Rule out tuberculosis (TB) disease (active TB) before initiating rifabutin (Ref).
Prophylaxis in patients with HIV:
Primary prophylaxis (patients with CD4 count <50 cells/mm3 who are not initiated on fully suppressive antiretroviral therapy) (alternative agent): Oral: 300 mg once daily; may discontinue prophylaxis when patient is initiated on effective antiretroviral therapy (ART) (Ref).
Secondary prophylaxis (adjunctive agent): Oral: 300 mg once daily in combination with clarithromycin or azithromycin (plus ethambutol); may discontinue when patient has completed ≥12 months of therapy, has no signs/symptoms of M. avium complex disease, and has sustained (>6 months) CD4 count >100 cells/mm3 in response to ART (Ref).
Treatment (off-label use):
Disseminated disease in patients with HIV: Oral: 300 mg once daily as part of an appropriate combination regimen. Some experts reserve for patients with high mycobacterial loads (>2 log CFU/mL of blood), or in the absence of ART (Ref).
Pulmonary disease, nonsevere noncavitary nodular/bronchiectatic disease in patients without cystic fibrosis: Oral: 300 mg 3 times weekly as part of an appropriate combination regimen; continue treatment until patient is culture negative on therapy for ≥1 year (Ref).
Pulmonary disease, severe nodular/bronchiectatic disease, cavitary disease, or disease in patients with cystic fibrosis: Oral: 150 to 300 mg once daily as part of an appropriate combination regimen; continue treatment until patient is culture negative on therapy for ≥1 year (Ref).
Tuberculosis (alternative agent) (off-label use): Oral:
Treatment of drug-susceptible tuberculosis (excludes meningitis) (as an alternative/substitute for rifampin): Note: Always administer in combination with other antitubercular drugs (Ref).
5 mg/kg/dose (usual dose: 300 mg) once daily as part of an appropriate multidrug regimen (Ref).
Dosage adjustment for concomitant therapy: Significant drug interactions exist, requiring dose/frequency adjustment or avoidance. Consult drug interactions database for more information.
CrCl ≥30 mL/minute: No dosage adjustment necessary.
CrCl <30 mL/minute: No dosage adjustment necessary. The manufacturer's labeling recommends considering a dose reduction of 50% if toxicity is suspected; however, AUC values reported in patients with CrCl <30 mL/minute have been similar to those found in healthy volunteers (Ref).
Mild impairment: No dosage adjustment necessary.
Moderate to severe impairment: There are no dosage adjustments provided in manufacturer's labeling (has not been studied).
Refer to adult dosing.

Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) infection:
Prophylaxis: Note: Rule out active tuberculosis before initiating rifabutin for prophylaxis (Ref).
HIV-exposed/-infected:
Primary prophylaxis (alternative agent): Children ≥6 years and Adolescents: Oral: 300 mg once daily. Primary prophylaxis may be discontinued in children after ≥6 months of antiretroviral therapy (ART) and upon meeting age-specific CD4 cell count targets for >3 months (≥6 years: >100 cells/mm3); primary prophylaxis may be discontinued in adolescents once effective ART is initiated (Ref).
Chronic maintenance therapy (secondary prophylaxis) (adjunctive agent):
Children ≥6 years: Oral: 5 mg/kg/dose once daily; maximum dose: 300 mg/dose; use as part of an appropriate combination regimen; may discontinue when patient has completed ≥12 months of MAC therapy and ≥6 months of ART, has no signs and symptoms of MAC disease, and has sustained (≥6 months) CD4 cell count above age-specific target (≥6 years: 100 cells/mm3) (Ref).
Adolescents: Oral: 300 mg once daily as part of an appropriate combination regimen; may discontinue when patient has completed ≥12 months of MAC therapy, has no signs and symptoms of MAC disease, and has sustained (>6 months) CD4 count >100 cells/mm3 in response to ART (Ref).
Non-HIV-exposed or infected: Infants, Children, and Adolescents: Oral: 5 mg/kg/dose once daily; maximum dose: 300 mg/dose (Ref).
Treatment:
Disseminated disease: Note: Addition of rifabutin to standard combination regimen is controversial; it has been suggested for use in patients with severe disease or at higher risk of mortality or emergence of drug resistance (Ref).
Infants, Children, and Adolescents: Oral: 10 to 20 mg/kg/dose once daily as part of an appropriate combination regimen for ≥12 months; maximum dose: 300 mg/dose (Ref).
Pulmonary disease: Children and Adolescents: Oral: 5 to 10 mg/kg/dose once daily as part of an appropriate combination regimen; maximum dose: 300 mg. Continue treatment until patient is culture negative on therapy for ≥12 months (Ref).
Tuberculosis, active, drug-susceptible treatment (alternative agent): Limited data available; optimal dose not established (Ref):
Note: Always use in combination with other antitubercular drugs (Ref). Any regimens using less than once-daily dosing should be administered as directly observed therapy (DOT). Some experts recommend DOT for all pediatric patients (Ref).
Infants, Children, and Adolescents: Oral: 5 mg/kg/dose once daily or 5-times-weekly (DOT); maximum dose: 300 mg/dose (Ref). A higher dose of 10 to 20 mg/kg/dose once daily (maximum dose: 300 mg/dose) has also been recommended (Ref).
Duration of therapy: Treatment regimens consist of an initial 2-month intensive phase of a 4-drug regimen, followed by a 2-drug continuation phase of rifamycin plus isoniazid. Duration of continuation phase is ≥4 months; should be longer for cavitary disease with positive cultures at completion of intensive phase (7 months), bone and joint disease (≥4 to 7 months), and CNS disease (7 to 10 months) (Ref).
Dosage adjustment for concomitant therapy: Significant drug interactions exist, requiring dose/frequency adjustment or avoidance. Consult drug interactions database for more information.
There are no pediatric-specific recommendations. The manufacturer's labeling recommends considering a dose reduction of 50% in adults with CrCl <30 mL/minute if toxicity is suspected; however, based on experience in adult patients, dosage adjustment likely unnecessary (Ref).
There are no pediatric-specific recommendations; based on experience in adult patients, no dosing adjustment necessary for mild impairment; has not been studied in severe impairment.

Concerns related to adverse effects:
• Dermatologic reactions: Cases of severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCAR), such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis, and drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome, have been reported. Discontinue treatment immediately and institute appropriate therapy if signs or symptoms of SCAR develop.
• Hematologic toxicity: May be associated with neutropenia and/or thrombocytopenia (rarely); consider periodic monitoring of hematologic parameters and discontinue permanently if signs of thrombocytopenia (eg, petechial rash) (CDC [Nahid 2016]; HHS [OI adult 2020]).
• Hypersensitivity reactions: Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, hypotension, urticaria, angioedema, acute bronchospasm, conjunctivitis, thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, and flu-like syndrome, may occur with rifamycins. Discontinue use and administer supportive care if hypersensitivity occurs.
• Superinfection: Prolonged use may result in fungal or bacterial superinfection, including Clostridioides difficile and pseudomembranous colitis; C. difficile has been observed >2 months postantibiotic treatment.
• Uveitis: May occur; carefully monitor patients when used in combination with macrolides or azole antifungals. If uveitis is suspected, refer patient to an ophthalmologist and consider temporarily discontinuing treatment.
Disease-related concerns:
• Hepatic impairment: Use with caution in patients with hepatic impairment; discontinue in patients with ALT ≥3 x ULN (symptomatic) or ≥5 x ULN (regardless of symptoms) (HHS [OI adult 2020]).
Other warnings/precautions:
• Appropriate use: Must not be administered for mycobacterium avium complex prophylaxis to patients with tuberculosis (TB) disease (active TB) since its use may lead to the development of TB resistant to both rifabutin and rifampin. Caution that TB disease in the HIV-infected patient may present atypically (ie, negative purified protein derivative or extrapulmonary manifestations).
• Contact lenses: Remove soft contact lenses during therapy since permanent staining may occur.
• Brown/orange discoloration: Urine, feces, saliva, sweat, tears, sputum, and skin may be discolored to brown/orange.
