Problem with Rifaximin

2019-05-06 11:50:53
I am an IBS patient. Taking rifaximin 200 gives me weakness and numbness in whole body. I take nexpro-40, librax and VSL #3 probiotic capsules with that too. I don't get problem with other medicines but whenever I take rifaximin 200, I feel weak and numb in whole body. I asked few gasteo doctors about that, but they just said its safe medicine and there can't be any problem with taking that.None of them answered my concern. Can you please tell why this happens and what should I do?
