Rifastop 200 Tablet 10 is primarily used to manage traveller's diarrhoea caused by specific strains of Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria. It is an antibiotic medicine that falls under the class of rifamycin antibacterials.
Apart from this main use, the tablet may be used for other medical conditions where bacterial infection is proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria. However, it's not recommended for diarrhoea accompanied by fever, blood in stools, or those caused by pathogens other than E. coli.
Before you start taking the medicine, consult your doctor, who will guide you on the correct dosage and frequency based on your health condition. It's important to inform your doctor about any pre-existing diseases or ongoing medication before starting this medicine. If you notice any side effects while on this medicine, notify your doctor immediately. Ensure you continue taking the tablet for the duration your doctor prescribes for optimal results.
