When considering splitting a rifaximin 400 mg pill to achieve a 200 mg dose, keep these points in mind:
- Tablet Design: Rifaximin tablets may not be scored, leading to uneven doses if split.
- Dosage Accuracy: Splitting might not provide an exact 200 mg dose, affecting treatment.
- Safety and Efficacy: Use the exact prescribed dose form for safety and effectiveness.
- Consult Your Pharmacist or Doctor: Confirm with your healthcare provider if splitting is safe or if a 200 mg tablet is available.
- Alternative Options: If 200 mg tablets aren't available, your doctor might adjust the prescription.
In summary, consult your healthcare provider to ensure safe and effective treatment for your diarrhea.

I've been feeling really uncomfortable lately with some persistent constipation, and now I've even started running a fever. I'm worried these two might be connected. Could constipation actually be the reason for my fever? Would love some insight on this.
Constipation itself does not typically cause fever. However, if constipation is severe and leads to complications such as a bowel obstruction or infection, then fever may occur as a result. It is important to address the underlying cause of constipation to prevent any potential complications.
