Zaxine, known by its generic name rifaximin, is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that affects bacterial RNA synthesis. It is indicated for the treatment of specific gastrointestinal conditions caused by bacteria. Unlike many other antibiotics, rifaximin has a minimal absorption rate in the intestine, which allows it to remain in the gastrointestinal tract and exert its effects locally. This characteristic minimizes systemic side effects and is particularly useful for treating certain intestinal conditions.
