Faxan Tablet 200 mg contains Rifaximin, a non-systemic, broad-spectrum antibiotic specially formulated to act within the gastrointestinal tract. It is primarily used for the treatment of bacterial infections of the intestine. Due to its minimal absorption into the bloodstream, Rifaximin works locally in the gut, providing effective antibacterial action while reducing the risk of systemic side effects.

Rifaximin exerts its effect by binding to the beta-subunit of bacterial DNA-dependent RNA polymerase. This action inhibits bacterial RNA synthesis, preventing the growth and replication of susceptible bacteria in the intestinal tract. Because it remains concentrated in the gut, Faxan Tablet 200 mg is particularly effective in managing intestinal bacterial infections without significantly disturbing the body’s overall microbial balance.
