FAQs

Rcifax Suspension is bactericidal in nature and works by killing the harmful bacteria that cause infections in the gut or intestine like E coli bacteria. Thereby, helps in treating/preventing the spread of infections and diarrhoea with abdominal pain.

It is recommended to complete the course of Rcifax Suspension even if you feel better as it is an antibiotic, and leaving it in between may lead to even severe infection that will, in fact, stop responding to the antibiotic as well (antibiotic resistance).

Do not take Rcifax Suspension on your own as self-medication may lead to antibiotic-resistance in which antibiotics fail to act against specific bacterial infections. Take Rcifax Suspension only if prescribed by a doctor.

Rcifax Suspension may affect blood tests and liver function tests with increased liver enzymes. Inform the person or doctor before performing the tests that you are taking Rcifax Suspension.

For treating traveller’s diarrhoea, Rcifax Suspension is generally prescribed for 3 days. For irritable bowel syndrome, Rcifax Suspension is prescribed for 14 days. However, it is better to take Rcifax Suspension only as prescribed by your doctor.

No, Rcifax Suspension may affect the activity and working of warfarin when taken together. So tell your doctor before using Rcifax Suspension that you are taking a blood thinner (warfarin). Your doctor might adjust the dose of warfarin to maintain the proper blood-thinning effect and prevent drug interaction.
