DescriptionDosageSide Effects

Decreasing the risk that hepatic encephalopathy (a serious liver problem) will occur again in patients who have already had it. It may be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Rifaximin is an antibiotic. Exactly how it works to treat hepatic encephalopathy is not known. It is thought to have an effect on the bacteria in the stomach.

This medication is used to treat diarrhea caused by the common bacteria known as E. coli (“traveler’s diarrhea”). Rifaximin should not be used if you have a fever or bloody diarrhea. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria.

This antibiotic treats only bacterial infections. It will not work for viral infections (such as common cold, flu). Unnecessary use or misuse of any antibiotic can lead to its decreased effectiveness.

Rifaximin is also used to treat irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea. It is also used to prevent a brain problem caused by liver disease (hepatic encephalopathy). It may help you think more clearly.
