RIFAXIKEM 550
RIFAXIKEM 550, containing Rifaximin (550mg), is a powerful antibiotic designed to address various gastrointestinal infections and conditions. Known for its efficacy in treating specific bacterial infections in the intestines, this medication provides significant relief and promotes overall digestive health.
Uses
- Traveler’s Diarrhea: Effective in treating traveler’s diarrhea caused by E. coli.
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Diarrhea (IBS-D): Alleviates symptoms such as abdominal pain and frequent diarrhea.
- Hepatic Encephalopathy: Reduces the risk of recurrent hepatic encephalopathy in patients with liver disease by lowering ammonia-producing bacteria in the gut.
- Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO): Manages symptoms associated with bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine.
Mechanism of Action
- Rifaximin (550mg): Works by inhibiting bacterial RNA synthesis, which effectively kills susceptible bacteria. It has minimal systemic absorption, allowing it to target infections directly in the intestines.
