Description
Rifakem 550mg Tablets are a specialized antibiotic medication containing Rifaximin, formulated for targeted action within the gastrointestinal tract. This higher strength is primarily prescribed for the management of Hepatic Encephalopathy (HE), a severe liver condition causing brain dysfunction by reducing ammonia-producing bacteria in the gut. It’s also highly effective in treating Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Diarrhea (IBS-D) by normalizing gut flora and alleviating symptoms like abdominal pain and bloating. Additionally, it can be used for infectious traveler’s diarrhea caused by non-invasive E. coli. Rifakem 550mg works locally, with minimal systemic absorption, making it a safe option for long-term use under medical supervision.
