What is Rifagut® Rifaximin Antibiotic Tablet?

Rifaximin is used to treat travelers’ diarrhea caused by Escherichia coli (E. coli) in adults and children who are at least 12 years old. Most people get this infection by eating food or drinking fluids that have been contaminated with E. coli bacteria. Rifaximin is also used to treat irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in adults whose main symptom is diarrhea. Rifaximin is also used to lower the risk of a decline in brain function in adults with liver failure. Brain function can be affected when the liver stops working and cannot remove toxic substances from the body. Rifaximin may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Rifaximin is a non-absorbable, broad-spectrum antibiotic mainly used to treat travelers’ diarrhea. It is based on the rifamycin antibiotics family. Since its approval in Italy in 1987, it has been licensed in more than 30 countries for the treatment of a variety of gastrointestinal diseases like irritable bowel syndrome, and hepatic encephalopathy. It acts by inhibiting RNA synthesis in susceptible bacteria by binding to the RNA polymerase enzyme. This binding blocks translocation, which stops transcription. It is marketed under the brand name Xifaxan by Salix Pharmaceuticals in the US.
