Rifastop 400 Tablet is an antibiotic primarily used to treat traveller's diarrhoea caused by non-invasive E. coli. Unlike most antibiotics, it is poorly absorbed into the bloodstream, meaning it stays in the gut to target the infection directly. It is a single-ingredient medicine containing rifaximin 400mg.
It is also used to manage irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhoea (IBS-D) and to help reduce the risk of recurrence of hepatic encephalopathy in patients with liver disease. Follow your doctor's instructions for the full duration of the course, even if your bowel movements return to normal early.
Staying well hydrated can support recovery from diarrhoea alongside this medicine.
If you experience severe abdominal pain or if the diarrhoea worsens, contact your healthcare provider. Do not stop taking this medicine unless your doctor advises you to do so.
