The medicine works by cutting down the amount of the bad bacteria that make the toxin that causes C. difficile infection. You should keep taking it for 10 days in a row unless your doctor tells you differently.
It’s usually taken once a day with 200 mg of the film-coated tablet. The bottles come with 20 tablets, and that’s enough for your 10-day treatment. You might get some tummy pain, feeling sick, throwing up, diarrhea, or bloating.
You should talk to your doc before you start, and make sure you know about any drug interactions and stuff you need to watch out for with fidaxomicin.
