Medical Description
Rifax 550 Tablet is an antibiotic that is used to help the liver remove harmful toxins from the blood, which can prevent brain damage caused by hepatic encephalopathy. You can take this tablet with or without food, but it is recommended to take it at the same time every day. You should follow the dosage and duration that your doctor has prescribed to get the most benefit of this medicine. It is important to continue taking it for as long as your doctor recommends. If you stop taking it early, it may result in the infection coming back and becoming harder to treat.
Some people may experience side effects such as vomiting, headache, dizziness, nausea, rashes, joint pain, and depression. However, these side effects are usually temporary and go away during the treatment as your body adjusts to the medicine. If you experience any of these side effects and they bother you or do not go away, you should consult your doctor. This medicine can cause your urine to become reddish in colour, but it is normal and harmless. Before starting treatment with Rifax Tablet, make sure to inform your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or suffering from any liver, kidney, or heart problems, or if you are allergic to any medicine.
