RIFAZIN 200MG TAB
Rifazin 200mg Tablets Online At Best Price In Pakistan
Generic: Rifaximin 200mg
Manufacturer: Horizon Pharmaceuticals
Quantity:
10 Tablets
INDICATION
Rifazin 200mg Tab is a broad-spectrum, gut-targeted antibiotic used for the treatment of traveler's diarrhea caused by non-invasive strains of Escherichia coli in adults and adolescents aged 12 years and above. It is also effective in managing irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea (IBS-D) and in reducing the recurrence of overt hepatic encephalopathy, a serious complication of liver disease in which toxins accumulate in the bloodstream and impair brain function. By working locally within the gastrointestinal tract, Rifazin effectively targets harmful gut bacteria while minimizing systemic absorption and side effects.
MECHANISM OF ACTION
Rifaximin works by entering bacterial cells and binding to the enzyme RNA polymerase, which bacteria need to produce proteins for survival and multiplication. By blocking this enzyme, rifaximin stops bacteria from growing and reproducing inside the gut. Because it is poorly absorbed into the bloodstream, it stays concentrated in the intestines, where it can act directly on the infection without affecting other organs. This local action makes it very effective for gut-related bacterial conditions while significantly reducing the risk of systemic side effects.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
ā¢Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Traveler's diarrhea: 200mg three times daily for 3 days.
ā¢Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā IBS-D: 550mg (or as prescribed) three times daily for 14 days; may repeat as directed.
ā¢Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Hepatic encephalopathy: As prescribed by the gastroenterologist or hepatologist.
ā¢Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā May be taken with or without food.
ā¢Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Swallow tablets whole with water; complete the full prescribed course.
SIDE EFFECTS
ā¢Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Common: Nausea, flatulence, abdominal pain, headache, dizziness.
ā¢Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Less common: Reddish discoloration of urine, joint pain, skin rash, depression, muscle spasms.
NOT RECOMMENDED IN
Rifazin 200mg Tab is not recommended in patients with known hypersensitivity to rifaximin or other rifamycin antibiotics. It is not indicated for diarrhea complicated by fever or blood in stools, or for diarrhea caused by pathogens other than E. coli. Use with caution in patients with severe hepatic impairment. It should not be used in children under 12 years without medical supervision. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their physician before using this medication.
DRUG INTERACTIONS
Rifaximin has minimal systemic drug interactions due to its poor absorption. However, in patients with liver impairment, it may reduce the effectiveness of warfarin, requiring more frequent INR monitoring. Live vaccines such as the typhoid vaccine may be less effective during rifaximin therapy and should be administered with appropriate timing. Patients with moderate to severe liver disease may experience increased plasma concentrations of rifaximin, which could alter drug interactions.
STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
Store at room temperature between 15Ā°C and 30Ā°C. Keep away from direct light and moisture. Store in original sealed packaging. Keep out of reach of children. Do not use after the expiry date printed on the blister or carton.
