RIFIDOR SUSPENSION is bactericidal in nature and works by killing the harmful bacteria that cause infections in the gut or intestine like E coli bacteria. Thereby, helps in treating/preventing the spread of infections and diarrhoea with abdominal pain.
It is recommended to complete the course of RIFIDOR SUSPENSION even if you feel better as it is an antibiotic, and leaving it in between may lead to even severe infection that will, in fact, stop responding to the antibiotic as well (antibiotic resistance).
Do not take RIFIDOR SUSPENSION on your own as self-medication may lead to antibiotic-resistance in which antibiotics fail to act against specific bacterial infections. Take RIFIDOR SUSPENSION only if prescribed by a doctor.
RIFIDOR SUSPENSION may affect blood tests and liver function tests with increased liver enzymes. Inform the person or doctor before performing the tests that you are taking RIFIDOR SUSPENSION.
For treating traveller’s diarrhoea, RIFIDOR SUSPENSION is generally prescribed for 3 days. For irritable bowel syndrome, RIFIDOR SUSPENSION is prescribed for 14 days. However, it is better to take RIFIDOR SUSPENSION only as prescribed by your doctor.
No, RIFIDOR SUSPENSION may affect the activity and working of warfarin when taken together. So tell your doctor before using RIFIDOR SUSPENSION that you are taking a blood thinner (warfarin). Your doctor might adjust the dose of warfarin to maintain the proper blood-thinning effect and prevent drug interaction.

About RIFIDOR SUSPENSION
RIFIDOR SUSPENSION belongs to the group of medicines called 'antibiotics' or 'antibacterials' used to treat infectious traveller's diarrhoea (in adults and children above 12 years of age) caused by E.coli bacteria, hepatic encephalopathy (decreased brain function due to liver disease) and irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhoea (IBS-D). Traveller’s diarrhoea is an infection in which there is a passage of unformed stools. Hepatic encephalopathy causes loss of brain function when a damaged liver is unable to remove toxins from the blood. Irritable bowel syndrome is a condition which affects the large intestine.
RIFIDOR SUSPENSION contains ‘Rifaximin’ that works by working on the bowel and preventing the spread of infections caused due to the loss of the beneficial gut bacteria. Thus, RIFIDOR SUSPENSION helps in relieving abdominal pain and diarrhoea. RIFIDOR SUSPENSION should not be used in the patients with diarrhoea complicated by fever or blood in the stool and diarrhoea due to pathogens other than Escherichia coli (E.coli).
Take RIFIDOR SUSPENSION with or without food. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as headache, peripheral oedema (leg swelling), nausea, dizziness, fatigue, ascites (excess fluid build-up in the abdomen), increased liver enzymes (ALT), and nausea. Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.
Before starting RIFIDOR SUSPENSION, please inform your doctor if you have any allergy (against any antibiotic), kidney or liver problems. Do not take RIFIDOR SUSPENSION for more than 3 days unless prescribed; if there is no symptomatic improvement, consult your doctor. Avoid taking RIFIDOR SUSPENSION if you are pregnant or breastfeeding; talk to your doctor, he/she may prescribe you alternate medicine. RIFIDOR SUSPENSION is not recommended for children as efficacy and safety have not been established. Inform your doctor about all the medicines you are taking and about your health condition to rule out any unpleasant side-effects.
