Xifaxan (active ingredient: rifaximin) is a prescription medication used to treat certain gastrointestinal conditions and help prevent complications related to liver disease. It belongs to a group of medications called rifamycin antibiotics, which work by targeting bacteria in the digestive tract.

Xifaxan is indicated for the following uses:

Treatment of Travelers’ Diarrhea

Xifaxan is used to treat travelers’ diarrhea caused by non-invasive strains of Escherichia coli (E. coli) in patients 12 years of age and older.

Reduction of Overt Hepatic Encephalopathy Recurrence

Xifaxan is used in adults to help reduce the risk of recurrent episodes of overt hepatic encephalopathy, a condition that can affect brain function in people with severe liver disease.

Treatment of Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Diarrhea (IBS-D)

Xifaxan is used to treat irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea (IBS-D) in adults. It may help reduce symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, bloating, and discomfort.

Xifaxan is a prescription medication available as an oral tablet. It may be taken with or without food, and the dosing schedule depends on the condition being treated.

Take Xifaxan exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Completing the full course of treatment helps ensure the medication works as intended. Your healthcare provider will determine the most appropriate dose and treatment duration based on your individual needs.

Recommended Dosage

Travelers’ Diarrhea

The recommended dose for travelers’ diarrhea may vary depending on your specific situation. Treatment is typically taken one to three times daily.

Consult your healthcare provider for the dosing schedule that is right for you.

Hepatic Encephalopathy

The usual adult dose is:

  • 550 mg by mouth twice daily, or
  • 400 mg by mouth twice daily

Your healthcare provider will determine the appropriate dose for your condition.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Diarrhea (IBS-D)

The usual adult dose is:

  • 550 mg by mouth three times daily for 14 days

If symptoms return after treatment, your healthcare provider may recommend repeating the treatment. In some cases, up to two additional treatment courses may be prescribed.
