Rifaximin

Rifaximin (Brand name: Xifaxan) is an expensive medication prescribed for the treatment of traveler's diarrhea or irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria that cause diarrhea. As with all antibiotics, it is particularly important that you take rifaximin exactly as prescribed. This drug can also help prevent recurrence of some liver problems. Rifaximin is currently unavailable in the U.S. as a generic alternative to Xifaxan, which is not covered by most Medicare and insurance plans. Because of this, it’s very expensive and may be purchased at a lower cost from pharmacies in Canada and other countries. You can save money on the brand and generic version of rifaximin 550 mg using PharmacyChecker-verified online pharmacies. If you prefer to shop in the U.S., you can find discounts on the brand-name Xifaxan at local U.S. pharmacies by using the drug discount coupon search at the bottom of the Xifaxan price comparison page. Xifaxan sold in the U.S. is manufactured in Canada.
