Xifaxanta (Rifaximin) is used to treat traveller’s diarrhea caused by E. coli, hepatic encephalopathy (HE), and irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea (IBS-D). Rifaximin is a gastrointestinal-selective antibiotic. This medication works mainly in the gut to inhibit the growth of bacteria. This antibiotic acts locally in the intestine and is not absorbed into the bloodstream in significant amounts.

Rifaximin for the Treatment of Hepatic Encephalopathy (06 January 2012), Dr. Jacqueline A. Klee Pharm.D., found that “Rifaximin was effective in improving behavioral, laboratory, mental status, and intellectual abnormalities associated with hepatic encephalopathy.”
