Rifaximin

A semi-synthetic antibiotic of the rifamycin family that is barely absorbed and acts in the gut; first approved in Italy in 1987, it is used for travellers' diarrhoea and hepatic encephalopathy. This family brings together the active ingredient, pharmacopoeial impurities, labelled standards and other impurities.

Did you know?The rifamycins it derives from were isolated in 1957 by Piero Sensi and colleagues from a soil bacterium found in a French pine forest: the name was inspired by the French gangster film Rififi.
