Description
Rifaximin Tablet’s primary mechanism of action is to inhibit bacterial RNA synthesis by binding to the beta-subunit of bacterial RNA polymerase. It primarily targets intestinal bacteria and acts locally within the gastrointestinal tract. Rifaximin is a unique antibiotic because it has low systemic absorption, meaning it remains mostly within the intestines and is not significantly absorbed into the bloodstream.
