| - Rifaximin is a semisynthetic, rifamycin-based non-systemic antibiotic, meaning that the drug will not pass the gastrointestinal wall into the circulation as is common for other types of orally administered antibiotics. It is used to treat diarrhea caused by E. coli. (en)

| - For the treatment of patients (≥12 years of age) with travelers' diarrhea caused by noninvasive strains of <i>Escherichia coli</i>. Rifaximin is also designated an orphan drug by the Food and Drug Administration for the adjunctive treatment of hepatic encephalopathy to reduce blood ammonia concentrations and decrease severity of neurological manifestations.

| http://linked.open...mechanismOfAction
| - Rifaximin acts by inhibiting RNA synthesis in susceptible bacteria by binding to the beta-subunit of bacterial deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-dependent ribonucleic acid (RNA) polymerase enzyme. This results in the blockage of the translocation step that normally follows the formation of the first phosphodiester bond, which occurs in the transcription process. (en)

| http://linked.open...outeOfElimination
| - In a mass balance study, after administration of 400 mg 14C-rifaximin orally to healthy volunteers, of the 96.94% total recovery, 96.62% of the administered radioactivity was recovered in feces almost exclusively as the unchanged drug and 0.32% was recovered in urine mostly as metabolites with 0.03% as the unchanged drug.Rifaximin accounted for 18% of radioactivity in plasma. This suggests that the absorbed rifaximin undergoes metabolism with minimal renal excretion of the unchanged drug (en)
