Re: **New Breakthrough MEDICINE**       02/18/06 08:02 AM Edit Reply Quote kmk Reged: 01/11/06 Posts: 35 Loc: NY Quick literature breakdown on rifaximin -First published research on this compound in 1983 -Immeditately noticed as being a non-absorbed antibiotic (hence the GI tract as a target) -Acute, chronic, subchronic and mutagenic studies in rats show no significant effects (brief glance at papers) -Member of the cephalosporin family -Effective at both gram +/- bacteria (basically all bacteria) -Seems the researchers are pushing this towards the CD, UC aspect due to those diseases being a state of chronic inflammation -There is clearly not enough research into is effects on IBS symptoms (sensitivity to gas) with this drug, but there is definitely more room for research and the papers published give insight as to what will come next. First papers to look at IBS and the drug were only published this year. If anyone wants more specifics, let me know and I will post more. -------------------- Here...there....everywhere Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
