Rifamap 400 Tablet 10 contains a single active ingredient: Rifaximin (400 mg). The ways that rifaximin works on the body are as follows:

• Inhibits Bacterial RNA Synthesis: Rifaximin works by blocking the process that bacteria use to make their proteins, effectively stopping the growth of E. coli bacteria causing diarrhoea.
• Reduces Breakdown of Ammonia: For hepatic encephalopathy management, rifaximin helps reduce the breakdown of ammonia by intestinal bacteria. This action results in lower blood ammonia levels and prevents neurological symptoms associated with high ammonia levels.

• Store your Rifamap 400 Tablet 10 at room temperature, ideally between 20°C and 25°C.
• Keep the medicine away from exposure to light and moisture.
• Keep this medicine out of reach of children.

• If you have traveller's diarrhoea, drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated and avoid spicy or oily foods that can make your symptoms worse.
• Low-protein diet can help reduce blood ammonia levels, so consider reducing your intake of meat and dairy products.
