Introduction

Xifaxan is a non-absorbed antibiotic that works locally in the intestines to manage bacterial growth and treat infections without entering the bloodstream. It is commonly prescribed for:

Because Xifaxan remains confined to the gut, it is highly targeted and does not treat systemic infections.

Primary Indications

  • Traveler’s Diarrhea: Treats non-invasive E. coli-induced diarrhea in adults and children age 12 and older.

  • IBS-D (Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Diarrhea): FDA-approved for short-term treatment in adults.

  • Hepatic Encephalopathy: Reduces the recurrence risk of overt hepatic encephalopathy in adults with advanced liver disease.


To comply with Canadian International Pharmacy Association regulations you are permitted to order a 3-month supply or the closest package size available based on your personal prescription. read more

Why Prescribed

Xifaxan is prescribed for gastrointestinal and liver-related conditions where bacterial toxins or overgrowth contribute to symptoms. It helps to:

  • Eliminate harmful intestinal bacteria

  • Improve cognitive symptoms in liver disease

  • Reduce diarrhea in IBS and travel-related infections

Because it’s poorly absorbed, Xifaxan minimizes systemic side effects, making it an effective option for patients needing localized gut treatment.

How to Use

Dosage and Administration

General dosage recommendations:

  • Traveler’s Diarrhea: 200 mg 3× daily for 3 days

  • IBS-D: 550 mg 3× daily for 14 days (can repeat up to 2 more times if symptoms recur)

  • Hepatic Encephalopathy: 550 mg 2× daily, often with lactulose

  • Can be taken with or without food

  • Follow the full prescribed duration even if symptoms improve early

Individual recommendations may vary based on need. Always consult your healthcare provider if you have questions about your dose. 

Missed Dose

Take as soon as remembered unless close to the next dose. Do not double up.

Overdose

Symptoms are unlikely due to low systemic absorption. Call 1-800-222-1222 in the US or 1-844-764-7669 in Canada, or seek emergency care.
