About Rifagut 550 Tablet 10's
Rifagut
550 Tablet 10's belongs to the group of
medicines called 'antibiotics' or 'antibacterials' used to treat infectious
traveller's diarrhoea (in adults and children above 12 years of age) caused by
E.coli bacteria, hepatic encephalopathy (decreased brain function due to liver
disease) and irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhoea (IBS-D). Traveller’s
diarrhoea is an infection in which there is a passage of unformed stools.
Hepatic encephalopathy causes loss of brain function when a damaged liver is
unable to remove toxins from the blood. Irritable bowel syndrome is a condition
which affects the large intestine.
Rifagut 550 Tablet 10's contains ‘Rifaximin’ that works by
working on the bowel and preventing the spread of infections caused due to the
loss of the beneficial gut bacteria.
Thus, Rifagut 550 Tablet 10's helps in relieving abdominal pain and
diarrhoea. Rifagut 550 Tablet 10's should not be used in the patients with
diarrhoea complicated by fever or blood in the stool and diarrhoea due to
pathogens other than Escherichia coli (E.coli).
Take Rifagut 550 Tablet 10's with or without food. In some
cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as headache,
peripheral oedema (leg swelling), nausea, dizziness, fatigue, ascites (excess
fluid build-up in the abdomen), increased liver enzymes (ALT), and nausea. Most
of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve
gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you
experience these side-effects persistently.
