Why is Rifocyna not used in the USA?
Rifocyna is not used in the USA possibly due to the availability of alternative medications that are already widely accepted and integrated into the healthcare system. Regulatory differences might also play a role, as the drug might not have approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in the States.
