A member asked:
Am taking xifaxan (rifaximin) 550mg for sibo, is it normal to be cold all the time and always feel thirsty?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sorry, but no...: Xifaxan (rifaximin) is generally well tolerated, and not likely to cause the distress you describe. Please ask your physician to next address your new symptoms with some simple blood work to check electrolytes, glucose, thyroid, etc, (these should be a good start).
