Overview

This post hoc analysis of three clinical trials evaluated the efficacy of rifaximin on individual and composite irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea (IBS-D) symptoms. Rifaximin significantly improved multiple concurrent IBS-D symptoms, including abdominal pain, bloating, and urgency.

These findings highlight the potential for rifaximin to provide robust clinical improvements in IBS-D patients.
