Rifamycin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic belonging to the rifamycin group, primarily used for the treatment of gastrointestinal infections such as travelers’ diarrhea caused by noninvasive strains of Escherichia coli. Unlike rifampin, rifamycin (A07AA13) is administered orally as a non-absorbed antimicrobial agent and is approved for use in several countries for this indication.
Pharmacokinetics
Adult healthy volunteers, both sexes; single oral dose of rifamycin SV tablets
