Detailed Information

Introduction

Torfix 400mg Tablet is an antibiotic medication containing rifaximin, a non-absorbed antibiotic used to treat specific gastrointestinal and liver-related conditions in adults. This medicine works locally in your digestive system without significant absorption into the bloodstream. Torfix 400mg is prescribed to treat traveler's diarrhea caused by noninvasive strains of E. coli bacteria and to help prevent the return of hepatic encephalopathy—a serious condition affecting brain function in patients with liver disease. Your doctor may recommend using this medication alone or alongside other treatments such as lactulose.

Key points

  • Prevents recurrence of hepatic encephalopathy in liver disease patients

Therapeutic Uses

  • Treatment of traveler's diarrhea caused by noninvasive Escherichia coli in adults
  • Prevention of recurrent episodes of hepatic encephalopathy in adults with liver disease
