A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rifaximine : Rifaximine has not to minimal absorption into the circulation when taken orally and chance of interaction with alcohol should be negligible. Drinking alcohol in moderation and spacing the medication and alcohol apart is suggested. If rifaximine is being taken for treatment of a liver condition, avoiding alcohol all together is suggested.
