Detailed Information

Introduction

Dirifa 400mg Tablet is an antibiotic medication containing rifaximin, designed to treat specific gastrointestinal and liver-related conditions in adults. This medicine works by stopping the growth of harmful bacteria in your intestines without being absorbed into your bloodstream in significant amounts. Dirifa 400mg is commonly prescribed for travelers' diarrhea caused by noninvasive E. coli bacteria and to prevent the recurrence of hepatic encephalopathy (a condition affecting brain function in patients with liver disease). Your doctor may recommend using Dirifa 400mg Tablet alone or in combination with other medications like lactulose, depending on your specific condition and medical history.

Key points

  • Contains rifaximin, a non-absorbed antibiotic effective against intestinal bacteria
  • Used for traveler's diarrhea and prevention of hepatic encephalopathy recurrence
  • Not suitable for children and adolescents under 18 years of age
  • Do not use if you have intestinal blockage, fever, bloody stools, or severe diarrhea

Therapeutic Uses

  • Treatment of traveler's diarrhea caused by noninvasive strains of E. coli in adults
  • Prevention of recurrent hepatic encephalopathy (loss of brain function) in adult patients with liver disease

How it Works

Dirifa 400mg Tablet works by binding to bacterial RNA polymerase, an enzyme essential for bacteria to produce proteins. By blocking this process, the medication stops bacterial growth and eliminates the infection. Because rifaximin acts locally in your intestines and is minimally absorbed into your bloodstream, it effectively treats intestinal infections while minimizing systemic side effects.
