Rifaximin 400mg
Rifguard 400mg Tablet is an antibiotic formulated to treat hepatic encephalopathy, a condition where the liver fails to remove harmful toxins from the blood, potentially causing brain damage. It also effectively treats infectious diarrhea and is commonly used as a medicine for IBS (irritable bowel syndrome). The Rifguard composition includes 400mg of Rifaximin as the active ingredient, works by binding to the ß-subunit of bacterial DNA-dependent RNA polymerase, inhibiting RNA synthesis, and preventing bacterial growth. This mechanism stops the production of essential proteins in bacteria, effectively eliminating the harmful microorganisms causing the infection. Rifaximin drugs are known for their ability to target and treat gastrointestinal issues without significant systemic absorption, making them highly effective for gut-related conditions. Rifguard dosage should be followed strictly as per your doctor’s instructions. It can be taken with or without food, preferably at the same time each day. Ensure you complete the full prescribed course, as stopping early may cause the infection to return and become harder to treat. Consult your doctor for the appropriate dosage and duration tailored to your condition.
