YOu cannot use Rifaximin in case of severe liver conditions and your doctor has to say if the can be taken in your case or not as a generalisation is not possible in each case.. This is contraindicated in liver disease

Hi lybrate-user. The tablet is generally used to treat some E choli diarrhea or IBS. But unfortunately the effect is not long lasting.
And having black stool should not be taken lightly.
If possible take test for Stool routine and microscopic. To find out if there is blood in it.
Second thing you may think of shifting to homoeopathic treatment as it is very effective and give permanent results.
