A member asked:
I was prescribed xifaxan (rifaximin) 550 mg tablet but can not afford it, is there an alternative and if so where can i find it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Xifaxan (rifaximin) : Unfortunately there are ok alternatives to xifaxan (rifaximin). It is unique in a way that it is not absorbed and works only in the bowel to kill pathogens and in your case to prevent hepatic encephalopathy. You should talk to your doctor about it and continue lactulose for now.
