📋Overview
Xifaxan is a brand name for rifaximin, an antibiotic that works primarily in the digestive tract. It is commonly associated with conditions involving bacterial overgrowth or infection in the intestines, such as traveler’s diarrhea and irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea. Xifaxan is also used in certain cases to help reduce the risk of complications in people with liver disease, particularly hepatic encephalopathy. Its targeted action in the gut helps minimize effects on the rest of the body.
