Rifakem-400 Tablet contains rifaximin as its active ingredient. Rifaximin belongs to the rifamycin group of antibiotics.

• Rifaximin works by lowering levels of ammonia-producing bacteria in the blood. It interferes with their ability to produce important proteins needed for their survival and multiplication. This action reduces diarrhoea and improves symptoms.
• Rifaximin also improves brain function by reducing toxin accumulation in the blood.
• It also protects against harmful effects caused by accumulated toxins in severe liver diseases like hepatic encephalopathy.
