Conclusions When compared to rifaximin alone for primary SBP prophylaxis, the combination of rifaximin with fluoroquinolone exhibited greater effectiveness with the same safety profile.Tahir ZamanMuhammad Bilal Ahmed AttariAdeel AhmadMuhammad Ahsan Butt...
We compared rifaximin alone vs combination with norfloxacin for secondary prophylaxis of patients of cirrhosis presenting with SBP and HE. This was a prospective, open-label, RCT which included all patients of cirrhosis with SBP and HE on admission. On discharge, in addition to standard medical ...
The risk is high in those with concomitant gastrointestinal bleeding, low ascitic fluid protein, or a previous attack of SBP. Norfloxacin is used widely in the primary prophylaxis of SBP but resistance usually develops where rifaximin was introduced. Patients and methods A total of 80 patients ...
Norfloxacin is the most commonly used agent for the prophylaxis against spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) in patients with liver cirrhosis. Rifaximin, another broad spectrum antibiotic, is used for the treatment of traveler's diarrhea and hepatic encephalopathy. We aimed to test the efficacy of...
Aim: The role of rifaximin in the prevention of Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis (SBP) is not well studied. The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the role of rifaximin in the prevention of SBP.Current drug targets-The International journal for timely in-depth reviews on drug targets...
The results of individual studies indicated either superior efficacy of rifaximin or no statistical difference between rifaximin and norfloxacin for SBP prophylaxis. CONCLUSIONS: Moderate-quality evidence shows that long-term use of rifaximin appears to be a reasonable alternative to norfloxacin for SBP ...
These results suggest the importance of antibiotic prophylaxis for SBP prevention combined with rifaximin may help reduce future SBP hospitalizations.doi:10.1016/S0016-5085(13)63719-1G.W. NeffM.B. ChristianE.S. ParkinsonE. CeceA.E. Alsina...
