Rifaximin (550mg)

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.

Dosage

  • Traveler’s Diarrhea: One RIFAXIKEM 550 tablet taken three times daily for 3 days.
  • IBS-D: Typically, one RIFAXIKEM 550 tablet is taken three times daily for 14 days, as prescribed by a healthcare provider.
  • Hepatic Encephalopathy: One RIFAXIKEM 550 tablet taken twice daily to reduce the risk of recurrence.
  • SIBO: Dosage as directed by a healthcare provider, often similar to the IBS-D regimen.

Side Effects

  • Common: Nausea, headache, dizziness, abdominal pain, and fatigue.
  • Serious: Rare but severe allergic reactions, including rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, and difficulty breathing. Seek immediate medical attention if these occur.

Precautions

  • Allergies: Inform the healthcare provider about any known allergies to Rifaximin or other antibiotics.
  • Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult a doctor before use, as the safety of RIFAXIKEM 550 during pregnancy and breastfeeding has not been fully established.
  • Liver Conditions: Use with caution in patients with severe liver impairment.

Interactions
