Xiafaxan is a prescription drug used to treat adults with traveler's diarrhea caused by E. coli and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It works by slowing down the movement of waste through the bowel, resulting in firmer stools and more frequent bowel movements. According to WebMD

If you are considering taking Xiafaxan, talk to your doctor first and make sure it is the best option for you. They will be able to answer any questions or concerns that you may have about this medication and its potential effects on other health conditions that you may have.
