Ive been reading about this drug called RHB-104 that is currently going through trials for lupus, crohns, MS and rheumatoid arthritis. Apparently its a drug containing three antibiotics. Does anyone know what antibiotics ?

I just looked into this, they are being given 5 pills, twice a day.
Each pill contains these 3 antibiotics : 95 mg clarithromycin, 45 mg rifabutin, and 10 mg clofazimine
Info I found shows both rifabutin & clofazimin are used to treat Leprosy.
The doctor that developed this also developed the current triple therapy for ulcers.

The research paper showed differently, I just do not know how to put the info of all the studies I have been researching onto this page
SandraMarch 4, 2014 at 4:05 pm #371423Woods1977ParticipantIf anyone is interested here’s a link to review… Very interesting indeed! This is something I would be willing to try later down the road, if in the event I can’t keep my RA under control!

They are involved with very good people including Dr Barody of Australia who came up with a treatment for Crohns using antibiotics –in fact I think this com pany is commercializing some of his work !!!!!!
RichieMarch 12, 2014 at 7:46 pm #371427lemonsParticipantIm surprised this post hasn’t generated more interest 😕
March 12, 2014 at 11:44 pm #371428richieParticipantHi The only reason I can think of is that most folks here tend to follow more alternative things –this is mainstream !!!!!
RichieMarch 13, 2014 at 1:45 am #371429mary77ParticipantI find this fascinating information. The three drug combination sounds interesting. Leprosy is a bacterial infection..though very slow growing with a long incubation period.(years) If these 3 meds prove to be effective for RA sufferers, then I would certainly be willing to give them a try!
Not sure what the pharmaceutical industry would say..they want us to take the biologics at a hefty cost per month.
I hope this leads to another possibility for those of us with RA.
MaryMarch 13, 2014 at 2:23 am #371430richieParticipantHi They also are the pharmaceutical industry as are the makers of minocycline doxycline and every other antibiotic –very often the same people who make biologicals make antibiotics —
richieMarch 13, 2014 at 2:41 am #371431richieParticipantHi As a further case in point —Abbott Labs makes Humira a leading biologic -they also make Biaxin and biaxin XL also known as clarithromycin —mention is made of cost –Enbrel yearly cost is app. 18–20000 –the cost of minocin for someone taking 100 mg daily is app.9600 yearly —-not exactly a pittance —People have insurance coverage for Enbrel and I have insurance coverage for minocin —There is a very bad tendency around here to paint the pharmaceutical industry in black hats with one big brush —Biologics have other baggage but I am not so sure cost is a good negative argument –if we talk about effects on the immune system etc –I can see that —-But never forget the big bad paharmaceutical industry makes all kinds of life saving drugs also !!!!
richieMarch 16, 2014 at 9:06 pm #371432lemonsParticipantIt will be interesting to see what happens with this drug, but it looks promising from what I have read.
March 17, 2014 at 1:56 am #371433SuzyParticipantThanks for posting this Lemons. I’ve been looking at this also…does sound interesting! I wonder what kinda herx and or side effects you would get from this three Abx combo? Would like to see more research …..

March 17, 2014 at 2:47 pm #371434AnonymousParticipantResearching this led me to a Crohn’s site and a thread that discussed tetracyclines causing Crohn’s Disease….Anyone heard this before?
