Rifaximin is the generic name of an antibiotic used to treat certain gastrointestinal infections and conditions, such as traveler's diarrhea and irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea (IBS-D). Xifaxan is the brand name for the same medication, rifaximin. Essentially, there is no difference in the active ingredient; the distinction lies in the naming, with Xifaxan being the commercial version.
