Rexigut 400 mg Tablet

Rexigut 400 mg Tablet is a prescription antibiotic tablet that contains 400 mg of rifaximin in each tablet. This pack is supplied as a strip/box of 10 tablets from Leeford Healthcare Limited. Rexigut 400 mg Tablet belongs to the antibiotic class and is used for certain infections and gut-related conditions caused or influenced by susceptible bacteria, as directed by a doctor. It is not a general pain medicine or fever tablet, and it should be used only for the specific condition your clinician has diagnosed.

How it works: Rifaximin in Rexigut 400 mg Tablet works by blocking bacterial RNA synthesis, which stops susceptible bacteria from growing and multiplying. As a tablet, it delivers the medicine by mouth so it can act mainly in the intestines where certain infections or bacterial overgrowth-related problems occur.

Rexigut 400 mg Tablet is a higher-strength tablet compared with Rexigut 200 mg Tablet, so it may be chosen when a prescriber wants a larger amount per dose with fewer tablets. Because this is the 400 mg strength, it is meant for people whose doctor has specifically assessed the need for this dose and schedule, rather than for self-selection or dose guessing. The effect is still local in the gut when used for its approved purposes, but the exact regimen depends on the condition being treated.

• Traveler’s diarrhea caused by susceptible bacteria
• Hepatic encephalopathy prevention/management as prescribed
• Irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea (in selected patients)
• Other doctor-directed bacterial gut infections or overgrowth
• Condition-specific antibacterial treatment in the intestine

• Swallow Rexigut 400 mg Tablet whole with water unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• Take it exactly at the times prescribed; spacing matters for this 400 mg strength.
• You may take it with or without food unless your prescription label says differently.
• Do not crush or chew the tablet unless a healthcare professional specifically instructs you to do so.
• Finish the full course even if you start feeling better early.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.

Each Rexigut 400 mg Tablet provides 400 mg of rifaximin, so the total daily amount depends on how many tablets your doctor prescribes. Depending on the condition, this strength may be taken more than once daily, but the maximum number of tablets per day must be set by your prescriber for your diagnosis. Because dosing varies by use, do not change the schedule on your own.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
