Rifaximin 400mg Tablet

Rifaximin 400mg Tablet is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that has proven effective against infections of the gut; such as traveler’s diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea (IBS-D), and hepatic encephalopathy. Rifaximin stops the growth of harmful gut bacteria while sparing the beneficial bacteria, so it has less side effects than other antibiotics.  Because Rifaximin is poorly absorbed into the bloodstream, it has localized effects in the gut and is an ideal treatment for localized gastrointestinal problems.
