About rifaximin

What is rifaximin?
Rifaximin (generic Xifaxan) is a non-absorbable antibiotic that works locally in the gastrointestinal tract.

It is FDA-approved to treat:
• Travelers' diarrhea caused by noninvasive strains of E. coli in patients aged 12 and older
• Hepatic encephalopathy, to reduce the risk of recurrence in adults
• Irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea (IBS-D) in adults

Rifaximin is available as oral tablets in 200 mg and 550 mg strengths. It is marketed under the brand name Xifaxan. Always take rifaximin as directed by your healthcare provider.

How to get a rifaximin online prescription

Obtaining a rifaximin prescription online involves a few straightforward steps:

  1. Booking a virtual visit: Use a telehealth platform like Klarity Health to schedule an appointment with a licensed medical provider.
  2. Medical review: During the visit, the provider will assess your symptoms, review your health history, and determine if rifaximin is appropriate for you.
  3. Prescription fulfillment: If prescribed, your rifaximin prescription will be sent to your preferred pharmacy for pickup or home delivery.

How does rifaximin compare to other medications?

When considering treatment options for gastrointestinal conditions, it’s important to compare efficacy, side effects, and costs.
