SMC Update - August 2012

The Scottish Medicines Consortium (SMC) has issued its monthly advice on newly licensed medicines.

Rifaximin (Xifaxanta®) has been rejected for the treatment of travellers' diarrhoea that is not associated with fever, bloody diarrhoea, 8 or more unformed stools in the previous 24 hours or occult blood or leucocytes in the stool. The manufacturer failed to make a submission.

Action: Clinicians should be aware of the recommendations of the SMC. Routine use of rejected and restricted medicines should be avoided.
