So, this antibiotic, fidaxomicin, it’s what doctors use to treat Clostridioides difficile infection. It works by stopping the RNA in the bacteria which is how it zeroes in on the infection. You take this stuff in the form of tablets that are kind of coated, like a shiny layer.
They come in doses of 200 milligrams. You’re supposed to take it two times a day for 200 mg, and you gotta stick with this for a full 10 days. The pills are coated so that they’re easier for you to take, no hassle.
It comes in bottles, each one with 20 tablets, that’s enough to cover your five days of treatment. Make sure you take all ten days worth of the tablets, even if you start feeling better. Keep this drug at room temp; don’t let it get wet or in the sun.
It might give you side effects, so you should tell your doctor if you’re having any problems. You can take this medication with or without water, and you don’t have to worry about food or snacks.
