About Rifaxigyl-M Suspension

Rifaxigyl-M Suspension is an antibiotic combination used to treat bacterial and gastrointestinal infections (including traveller's diarrhoea and irritable bowel syndrome). Gastrointestinal infections are conditions caused by harmful microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, or parasites, that affect the digestive system. They often lead to symptoms like nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and abdominal pain.

Rifaxigyl-M Suspension is a combination of Metronidazole and Rifaximin. Metronidazole is an antimicrobial agent that kills bacteria and protozoa by disrupting their DNA. Rifaximin is a non-absorbable antibiotic that works directly in the gut to inhibit bacterial growth. Together, they help relieve symptoms, prevent complications, and promote intestinal health.

Give Rifaxigyl-M Suspension to your child as prescribed by the doctor. It can cause side effects like nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, headache, dizziness, or a metallic taste. These effects are usually temporary and do not require medical attention. However, if they continue or worsen, see your doctor for advice.
