RIFAXEMANIA KIDS

RIFAXEMANIA KID is a specialized pediatric antibiotic formulation containing Rifaximin 100 mg per 5 ml, designed for the treatment of intestinal bacterial infections in children. Manufactured by Steris Healthcare Pvt. Ltd., this oral suspension provides effective relief from diarrhea, intestinal infections, and related gastrointestinal disturbances. Its gentle yet powerful action targets harmful bacteria in the intestine while preserving healthy gut flora, ensuring safe and fast recovery for young patients.

Composition

• Active Ingredient: Rifaximin 100 mg/5 ml

• Dosage Form: Oral Suspension

• Therapeutic Class: Gastrointestinal Antibiotic

Mechanism of Action

Rifaximin belongs to the rifamycin class of antibiotics and works by inhibiting the bacterial RNA synthesis through binding to the beta-subunit of bacterial DNA-dependent RNA polymerase. This process halts bacterial replication and growth within the intestines, eliminating infection-causing microorganisms.

What makes RIFAXEMANIA KID unique is that less than 1% of Rifaximin is absorbed into the bloodstream, meaning it works locally within the gut, reducing the risk of systemic side effects. This localized action helps restore intestinal health without affecting other parts of the body.

Uses of RIFAXEMANIA KID

RIFAXEMANIA KID is indicated for multiple gastrointestinal conditions in children, including:

1. Infectious Diarrhea – Caused by bacterial infections like Escherichia coli (E. coli), Salmonella, and Shigella.

2. Traveler’s Diarrhea – Effective for diarrhea due to bacterial contamination of food and water.

3. Hepatic Encephalopathy (Adjunct Therapy) – Reduces ammonia-producing gut bacteria, lowering the risk of neurological complications in liver disorders.

4. Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Diarrhea (IBS-D) – Helps manage symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, and loose stools.

5. Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) – Controls excessive bacterial growth in the small intestine that can cause bloating and discomfort.

Key Benefits

• Targeted Gut Action: Works locally within the intestines to treat infections effectively.

• Safe for Pediatric Use: Minimal systemic absorption reduces side effects, making it ideal for children.

• Broad-Spectrum Efficacy: Active against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

• Restores Gut Balance: Helps maintain the balance of healthy intestinal flora.

• Fast Symptom Relief: Rapidly reduces diarrhea, bloating, and intestinal discomfort.

• Pleasant Taste: Formulated with child-friendly flavor for easy administration.

Dosage and Administration

• Recommended Dose: Usually prescribed based on age and body weight. A typical dosage is 10 mg/kg twice daily or as directed by the physician.

• Administration: Shake the bottle well before use. Administer using a calibrated measuring spoon or cup.

• Duration of Therapy: Treatment usually continues for 5 to 10 days, depending on the infection type and severity.

• Storage: Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place. Protect from light and moisture. Keep tightly closed after use.

Note: Always follow your pediatrician’s instructions regarding dosage and duration. Do not stop the medication abruptly even if symptoms improve early.

How RIFAXEMANIA KID Works in the Body

Rifaximin acts locally in the gastrointestinal tract. Once administered, it achieves high concentrations in the intestinal lumen, where it attacks bacteria directly. Since it is not absorbed into the bloodstream, its action remains confined to the gut, providing effective bacterial eradication without disturbing the overall body system.

This local mechanism makes RIFAXEMANIA KID a preferred choice in pediatric care, where safety, efficacy, and tolerability are paramount. It also minimizes the chances of bacterial resistance and recurrence of infection.

Safety and Precautions

• Medical Supervision Required: Use only under the supervision of a qualified pediatrician.

• Hypersensitivity: Avoid in children allergic to Rifaximin or any other rifamycin derivatives.

• Liver Impairment: Caution is advised in patients with severe liver conditions.

• Diarrhea Monitoring: If symptoms persist beyond 48 hours or worsen, consult a doctor immediately.

• Drug Interactions: Inform the physician about any other medications the child is taking.

• Hydration: Ensure the child remains well-hydrated during diarrhea treatment.

Possible Side Effects

RIFAXEMANIA KID is generally well-tolerated, with very few reported side effects. However, in some cases, mild and temporary effects may occur, including:

• Mild abdominal pain

• Flatulence or bloating

• Nausea or vomiting

• Headache (rare)

• Increased bowel movements initially

• Skin rash or itching (rare and mild)

If any adverse reaction persists or worsens, discontinue use and seek immediate medical advice.

Overdose and Missed Dose

• Overdose: Rifaximin overdose is rare due to its poor absorption. However, in case of accidental high ingestion, supportive medical care should be provided.

• Missed Dose: If a dose is missed, administer it as soon as remembered. Do not double the next dose to compensate for the missed one.
