Hey everyone,
Just wanted to share my experience with Rifagut 400 mg, since I noticed many people ask about it but there aren’t a lot of real user opinions out there.

What Is Rifagut 400 mg?

Rifagut 400 mg contains Rifaximin, an antibiotic mainly used for traveler’s diarrhea, IBS-D (Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Diarrhea), and liver-related complications like hepatic encephalopathy. Unlike most antibiotics, it works locally in the gut and is poorly absorbed, which means fewer systemic side effects.

Why I Was Prescribed It

I was dealing with persistent gas, bloating, and irregular bowel movements. My doctor suspected bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) or IBS-D, so he put me on a 10-day course of Rifagut 400 mg.

My Experience

Here’s how it went for me:

- Digestive discomfort reduced within 3–4 days
- Bloating almost disappeared
- Stool frequency became more normal
- No major side effects

Honestly, I didn’t expect such fast relief since I had tried many probiotics and diet changes before this.

Common Uses

Based on what my doctor explained and what I’ve read:

- IBS-D management
- Treatment of SIBO
- Traveler’s diarrhea

Prevention of complications in liver disease

Side Effects

I personally didn’t face anything significant, but common ones can include:

- Mild nausea
- Headache
- Fatigue
- Slight abdominal discomfort

Since it doesn’t enter the bloodstream much, serious side effects are rare.

How to Take It

My doctor prescribed:

400 mg twice daily for 10 days (your dosage may vary)

I took it after meals to avoid any discomfort.

Important Tips

- Don’t self-medicate—get a doctor’s advice
- Avoid alcohol during the course
- Complete the full dosage to prevent recurrence
- Works best when combined with diet changes (low-FODMAP for IBS)

Final Thoughts

Rifagut 400 mg worked surprisingly well for my gut issues. If you’ve been struggling with digestive symptoms and your doctor recommends it, it might be worth trying.
