Zimigut 200 Tablet 10 contains rifaximin (200 mg). This active ingredient works in the body in the following ways:

• Binding to Bacterial RNA Polymerase: Rifaximin binds to a component of the bacterial cell called DNA-dependent RNA polymerase. This enzyme plays a crucial role in bacterial reproduction.
• Inhibition of Bacterial RNA Synthesis: By binding to RNA polymerase, rifaximin blocks a stage in transcription, which is vital for bacterial reproduction and growth. This action effectively prevents the growth and multiplication of susceptible bacteria within your gut that cause infectious diarrhoea.
