    • Used to relieve symptoms such as diarrhea and abdominal discomfort.

    • Used to reduce the risk of episodes of confusion and other neurological symptoms in patients with liver disease by decreasing the levels of ammonia-producing bacteria in the intestines.

Common side effects of rifaximin may include:

    • Nausea
    • Abdominal pain
    • Diarrhea (which may be part of the condition being treated)

Precautions:

When using rifaximin, consider the following precautions:

  1. Allergic Reactions:

    • Inform your healthcare provider if you have a history of allergies to rifaximin or other antibiotics.

  2. Severe Liver Disease:

    • Use with caution in patients with severe liver impairment, as the drug may not be appropriate for this population.

  3. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding:

    • The safety of rifaximin during pregnancy is not well established; it should be used only if clearly needed. It is generally considered safe while breastfeeding, but consult a healthcare provider.

  4. Drug Interactions:

    • Inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are taking, as rifaximin may interact with certain drugs, particularly those that affect liver enzymes.

  5. Superinfection:

    • As with other antibiotics, prolonged use may lead to an overgrowth of non-susceptible organisms, including fungi.
