Used For

  • Travelers' Diarrhea: Rifaximin is effective in treating diarrhea caused by non-invasive strains of Escherichia coli.
  • Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Diarrhea (IBS-D): It may help reduce symptoms of IBS-D, particularly diarrhea.
  • Hepatic Encephalopathy: Used to decrease the risk of recurrence of hepatic encephalopathy, a condition caused by liver dysfunction that leads to a buildup of toxins in the brain.
  • Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO): Sometimes prescribed to treat SIBO, a condition where excess bacteria grow in the small intestine.

Rifaximin works by inhibiting bacterial RNA synthesis, thereby preventing bacteria from multiplying. Its broad-spectrum activity helps in targeting various gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract.
