The Gut Guy character

HOW DOES XIFAXAN TREAT IBS-D?

The exact cause of IBS-D is unknown. However, it is believed that an imbalance of gut bacteria may lead to IBS-D symptoms.

XIFAXAN is the only FDA-approved treatment that alters the bacteria in your gut that have been linked to symptoms of IBS-D.

XIFAXAN is an antibacterial medication, or antibiotic, that did not cause any clinically relevant antibiotic resistance after 1 to 3 treatment cycles.

If you take antibiotics, like XIFAXAN, there is a chance you could experience diarrhea caused by an overgrowth of bacteria (C. difficile). This can cause symptoms ranging in severity from mild diarrhea to life-threatening colitis. Contact your healthcare provider if your diarrhea does not improve or worsens.

Most common side effects

In clinical studies, the most common side effects associated with XIFAXAN for IBS-D were:

• Nausea (feeling sick to your stomach)
• An increase in liver enzymes
