Rifaximin acts by binding to the beta-subunit of bacterial DNA dependent RNA polymerase resulting in inhibition of bacterial RNA synthesis. Rifaximin has been shown to be active against the non invasive strain of Escherichia coli (enterotoxigenic and enteroaggregative strains). Rifaximin is believed to affect gut bacteria resulting in a decreased production and/or absorption of bacterial derived neurotoxins, including ammonia, responsible for the neurocognitive and neuromuscular dysfunction seen in patients with Hepatic Encephalopathy.

Rifaximin
Warnings
Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD) has been reported with use of nearly all antibacterial agents, including rifaximin, and may range in severity from mild diarrhea to fatal colitis. CDAD must be considered in all patients who present with diarrhea following antibiotic use. Careful medical history is necessary since CDAD has been reported to occur over two months after the administration of antibacterial agents. If CDAD is suspected or confirmed, ongoing antibiotic use not directed against C. difficile may need to be discontinued.
It is not known whether rifaximin is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk and because of the potential for adverse reactions in nursing infants from rifaximin, a decision is advised to be made whether to discontinue nursing or to discontinue the drug, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother.
There is increased systemic exposure in patients with severe hepatic insufficiency. Therefore, caution is advised to be exercised when administering rifaximin to patients with severe hepatic insufficiency.
