How Rifabact 400mg Tablet Works

Rifaximin belongs to the rifamycin class of antibiotics. It works by inhibiting bacterial RNA synthesis, preventing bacteria from growing and multiplying. Because the medicine remains mainly within the intestines, it acts directly at the site of infection with very little absorption into the bloodstream.

This targeted action helps eliminate harmful bacteria, restore intestinal balance, reduce diarrhea, and lower the production of toxins that contribute to hepatic encephalopathy.
