Rifaximin 200 mg tablets are primarily used to treat diarrhea caused by non-invasive E. coli bacteria. This dosage strength is not typically used for other conditions like Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS-D) or Hepatic Encephalopathy (HE), which often require a higher 550 mg dose.
Other Uses (Typically with different dosages)
Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Diarrhea (IBS-D): Rifaximin helps alleviate symptoms like abdominal pain, bloating, and diarrhea. The approved adult dose is typically 550 mg three times daily for 14 days.
Hepatic Encephalopathy (HE): In patients with severe liver disease, Rifaximin is used to reduce the risk of recurrent episodes of decreased brain function caused by a buildup of toxins (like ammonia). The standard adult dose for this is usually 550 mg twice a day, often in combination with lactulose.
Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO): This is an off-label use where Rifaximin is used to treat bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine.

Rifaximin 200 mg provides a targeted approach to managing hepatic encephalopathy, traveler's diarrhea, and IBS-D. Its unique action in the intestines minimizes systemic side effects while delivering localized relief, making it a trusted choice for both patients and physicians seeking reliable symptom control.
