Zimigut 550 Tablet 10 contains rifaximin (550mg). Here's how it works:

• Bacterial RNA Synthesis Inhibition: Rifaximin binds to the beta-subunit of bacterial DNA-dependent RNA polymerase, which inhibits bacterial RNA synthesis. This process suppresses bacterial protein synthesis and inhibits the growth of susceptible bacteria.

• Ammonia Regulation: In managing hepatic encephalopathy, rifaximin acts on the gastrointestinal tract to reduce the growth of ammonia-producing bacteria. This action helps lower blood ammonia levels.

• Gut Microbiota Modulation: For IBS-D management, rifaximin works by modulating gut microbiota and reducing bacterial overgrowth in the large intestine. This action helps alleviate symptoms like bloating and frequent diarrhoea.

• Store Zimigut 550 Tablet 10 at room temperature.

• Shield the product from light and moisture; keep it in its original packaging for optimal protection.

• Always ensure that this medicine is kept out of reach of children.

• Check the expiry date before use and avoid using expired tablets.

• For managing hepatic encephalopathy, limit protein intake as it can lead to an increase in blood ammonia levels. Opt for plant-based proteins, which are easier on your liver.

• If you're using Zimigut 550 Tablet 10 for irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhoea, consider a low FODMAP (Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, and Polyols) diet. These are types of carbohydrates that could be hard for your gut to digest and might worsen symptoms.
