Rifaximin

Uses

Rifaximin is used in the treatment of hepatic encephalopathy.

How it Works

How Rifaximin works Rifaximin is an antibiotic. In hepatic encephalopathy, it functions by eliminating ammonia-producing bacteria, thereby alleviating symptoms such as agitation, confusion, and muscle issues. In infectious diarrhea, it acts by inhibiting the growth of bacteria responsible for causing diarrhea.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Rifaximin include dizziness, nausea, peripheral edema, ascites (accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity), and fatigue.

Expert Advice

  • Rifaximin reduces the risk of overt hepatic encephalopathy (HE) recurrence in patients with liver disease.
  • It may cause reddish discoloration of urine, which is normal and harmless.
  • Stop taking Rifaximin and inform your doctor if you experience severe diarrhea during or after using the medication.
  • Complete the full course of the medication, even if you start to feel better.
