Treatment of intestinal bacterial infections such as acute infectious diarrhoea (including traveller’s diarrhoea) caused by susceptible bacteria; may be used for other gut bacterial overgrowth conditions as prescribed.
How It Works
Rifaximin is a minimally absorbed antibiotic that acts locally in the intestine. It inhibits bacterial RNA synthesis by binding to the beta-subunit of bacterial DNA-dependent RNA polymerase, reducing the growth of susceptible gut bacteria.
Directions for Use
Take the tablet by mouth with water, with or without food, exactly as prescribed. Complete the full course even if you feel better; do not self-treat persistent diarrhoea beyond 48 hours without medical advice.
Do not use if allergic to rifaximin/rifamycins. Seek medical help if diarrhoea is severe, persistent, or accompanied by fever or blood in stools. Use with caution in severe liver disease; risk of adverse effects may be higher. Prolonged use may lead to superinfection including C. difficile–associated diarrhoea. Not recommended for children unless prescribed.
