RIFAXIKEM 200 

Rifaximin (200mg)

Introduction

Rifaximin (200mg), marketed as RIFAXIKEM 200, is an effective antibiotic used primarily to treat gastrointestinal infections. It is particularly beneficial for managing conditions such as traveler’s diarrhea and irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea (IBS-D). Rifaximin’s action is localized in the gut, making it an ideal choice for treating bacterial infections without significant systemic absorption, thereby minimizing side effects.

Mechanism of Action

Rifaximin works by inhibiting bacterial RNA synthesis, which stops the growth and proliferation of bacteria. This antibiotic targets the gut microbiota, reducing pathogenic bacteria while sparing beneficial ones. This selective action helps maintain a healthy gut environment and prevents the recurrence of infections.

Uses

• Traveler’s Diarrhea: Rifaximin (200mg) is highly effective in treating traveler’s diarrhea caused by non-invasive strains of Escherichia coli. It reduces the duration and severity of symptoms, providing quick relief.
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Diarrhea (IBS-D): Rifaximin helps alleviate symptoms of IBS-D, such as abdominal pain, bloating, and frequent diarrhea. It works by modifying the gut microbiota, reducing the presence of harmful bacteria that contribute to IBS-D.
• Hepatic Encephalopathy: Although more commonly prescribed in higher doses for this condition, Rifaximin can help reduce the risk of recurrent episodes of hepatic encephalopathy by decreasing the number of ammonia-producing bacteria in the gut.

Dosage and Administration

The typical dosage for Rifaximin (200mg) varies depending on the condition being treated:

• Traveler’s Diarrhea: One 200mg tablet taken three times a day for three days.
• IBS-D: Often prescribed in higher doses, but some regimens might include 200mg taken three times daily for 14 days, with possible repeat courses if symptoms recur.

Always follow the prescribed dosage and complete the full course of treatment even if symptoms improve earlier. This ensures the infection is fully eradicated and reduces the risk of resistance.

Side Effects

Common side effects include:

• Nausea
• Headache
• Dizziness
• Flatulence

Serious side effects are rare but may include:

• Severe allergic reactions
• Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea

If severe side effects occur, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional immediately.

• Allergies: Inform your healthcare provider of any known allergies to rifaximin or similar antibiotics.
• Liver Function: Patients with severe liver disease should use rifaximin cautiously.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult a healthcare provider before using rifaximin during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
