Detailed Information

Introduction

Dirifa 200mg Tablet is an antibiotic medication containing rifaximin, a non-absorbed antibiotic that works locally in your digestive system. It is specifically prescribed to treat traveler's diarrhea caused by noninvasive E. coli bacteria in adults. Additionally, Dirifa 200mg is used to prevent recurring episodes of hepatic encephalopathy—a serious condition where liver disease affects brain function—in adult patients with liver problems. Your doctor may prescribe this medication alone or in combination with lactulose-based treatments.
