WHAT IS XIFAXAN (RIFAXIMIN)?
Xifaxan medication belongs to a class of medicines known as rifamycin antibiotics. It is indicated to treat conditions such as Traveler’s diarrhea and irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea (IBS-D). Also, it is used to prevent brain problems due to a liver disease called hepatic encephalopathy.
Xifaxan’s generic alternative is Rifaximin.
When the Xifaxan tablet is administered correctly and absorbed into the bloodstream, it works by decreasing the number of bacteria in the digestive tract.
The mechanism of action of this medicine blocks bacterial RNA synthesis by binding to bacterial DNA-dependent RNA polymerase. This action inhibits bacterial protein synthesis, thereby preventing gastrointestinal bacteria from growing. As a result, it reduces the severity of Traveler’s diarrhea, episodes of overt hepatic encephalopathy, and signs and symptoms of IBS.
Note that for patients with severe liver impairment, make sure to consult your doctor before using this medicine, as this can enhance the effects of Xifaxan.
