Irritable bowel syndrome often becomes a headache for the patient as well as doctor and till date no drug has proven to be 100% effective in managing these patients. We studied Rifaximin, one of the latest drug for the management of this disorder and compared it with drugs previously used. This study, a combination of retrospective as well as prospective showed that Rifaximin has the most satisfactory results in these patients, however the results were not sustained as with other drugs.
