Rifaximin is a semisynthetic antibiotic derived from rifamycin. Unlike many other oral antibiotics, it is minimally absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract into the bloodstream. Rifaximin works by inhibiting bacterial RNA synthesis through its action on the beta subunit of DNA-dependent RNA polymerase. It demonstrates broad-spectrum bactericidal activity, effective against a variety of Gram-positive and Gram-negative, as well as aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, similar to rifamycin.

Symptoms of this condition include agitation, confusion, muscle issues, difficulty speaking, and, in severe cases, coma. Additionally, Hepaximin 200 is used for treating infectious diarrhea and irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea (IBS-D) in both adults and children.
This medicine can be taken alone or in combination with other medications. It can be taken with or without food, but it is best to take it at the same time each day to maximize its benefits.
