Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My GI prescribed xifaxan 200 mg 3xdaily for 10 days due to IBS-c and weaning off Wellbutrin. It has been 6 months since I stopped the Wellbutrin and and my body is flipping back and forth fem diarrhea and constipation. In the last two weeks it suddenly got worse and very unpredictable! What can I expect when I start the xifaxan? Thanks!
