Overview
RIFAGUT 200MG TAB is a Schedule H antibiotic.RIFAGUT 200MG TAB is composed of: RIFAXIMIN (200 MG)
Rifaximin is an antibiotic that fights bacterial infection only in the intestines.Rifaximin works differently from other antibiotics because it passes through your stomach and into your intestines without being absorbed into your blood stream. Because rifaximin treats only the intestinal tract, it will not treat infections of other parts of the body.It prevents the growth of bacteria inside the intestine (gut). It works by killing the ammonia-producing bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract which reduces recurrence of hepatic encephalopathy.
