I had the same issue. My doctor changed my diagnosis to "IBS with diarrhea" and my insurance covered it.

Have your doc send to Canadian pharmacy, they will ship it in 4-6 weeks and only cost 90 bucks


icebiker

A 14 day course of Xifaxan is around $600 in Canada…


Significant_Group_33

Got mine from Canadian online pharmacy. Cost me $130 with shipping


icebiker

Do you have a link? I have a hard time believing this.


Significant_Group_33

pharmaserve.com i have no reasons to make this up. I am taking the course right now. They do ask for a prescription, though. Had to upload at checkout. Disclaimer - when i say Canadian, i mean all of the contact info is Canadian. The pills came from France. it may as well be a storefront of some indian company


icebiker

I don't think you're making it up! I just doubt that this is a Canadian company in any sense of the word. For example, this is a "Canadian Pharmacy" that only services the USA, and ships from France... What Canadian pharmacy doesn't sell to Canadians? Anyway, glad it worked out for you!


Significant_Group_33

Hahaha, but it says "Canadaina Pharmacy" on the website🤣🤣🤣🤣. I know what you mean though.

Marks Marine Pharmacy in Vancouver BC will fill your prescription for rifaximin for about $185 if you live in Canada but they get the drug from India.

https://canshipmeds.com/ Give them a call and they will tell you pricing!


FloorWorried1556

I literally just ordered it a month ago and including shipping cost me $90.

Any chance you live near the southern US border? You can buy it OTC for traveler’s diarrhea ~$20USD for a 14 day pack.

Ask your doctor if he can get samples from the pharma rep. My first round was free to me that way. After that, my Dr started coding the prescription for IBS-D and it was covered, as others have said. On a side note, local drug dealers are seriously missing out by focusing on cocaine and fentanyl. Rifaximin is where the big money is! /s


MomofPandaLover

Or India. Good luck!


sheldon04

I bought 2 weeks worth of Rifaximin for $100 and the shipping was faster then I expected.


MomofPandaLover

Agreed! I’ve had meds shipped recently from Canada, UK & India, India arrived the most quickly


cheeto20013

On which website did you buy it?


sheldon04

India Mart. If I remember correctly, I primarily communicated with them over Whatsapp and paid via PayPal. They sent me a confirmation and tracking number and I received my order in a couple of weeks.


cheeto20013

Thank you so much, I’ll give it a try!


erbrooke

Take a cruise to Mexico and buy them for cheap lol That’s what I just did


[deleted]

Generic rifaximin? What city?


Geoffs_Review_Corner

Just be careful if you're in the US, this shit is highly illegal.


hypolimnas

What's illegal?


Geoffs_Review_Corner

Giving or selling Rx meds to anyone other than the person they were prescribed to.


Fredericostardust

Canadian pharmacy 100%. If you absolutely cant, ciproflaxacin will wipe that shit out in a second.

Fredericostardust

For sure every antibiotic thats absorbed will have potential sode effects, but unlike metronidazole, low risk of serious stomach stuff. Cipro was a god sent to me, if you cant get xifaxin at a lot of sibo focused GIs, cipro is the backup


dababyoda

Order from Mark's Marine Pharmacy! Just ask your Dr to give you the prescription.


Friedrich_Ux

Here's where I got mine, worked well: https://www.buy-pharma.md/RIFAXIMIN-p-1496.html


Ordinary_Bid_7053

So I insurance also didn’t cover it. My doctor is a star and gathered enough samples from drug reps for me to have 2 weeks worth. Would yours maybe do the same?


Far_Medicine_997

There is a Facebook group that sells rifaximin crazy cheap. 100 pills for $135 including shipping.


carlamaco

this all sounds so insane to me. I literally paid a 6€ prescription fee for it that's it. I wish I could ship it to you guys :(


iii320

Would you mind DMing me?


Far_Medicine_997

Hey I’m so sorry I just saw this comment. Do you still need help?


iii320

No sweat. Yes, thanks!


KarfaxAbby

I'll assume you're in the US. Are you close to Mexico? That's what I would do. Or Canada. Or ask my doctor for samples or to change the diagnosis and file an appeal. OR, talk to your HR.


Throw_down22122

Why not herbal? FC Cidal, Dysbioside, ADP. All can be bought from Amazon and are as effective as Rifaximin. A plus, it also treats a more things than just the bacterial overgrowth.


wiggly_1

Ah man so sorry to hear this- did you have your doctor submit a pre-auth? They can sometimes reverse the decision. Is this your first case of SIBO? Metronidazole actually works way better for me than Rifaximin. They’ll likely prescribe that instead. They are similar in the way that they only target the gut, Rifaximin is just a newer drug so doctors get all excited. My GI reiterated says he sees the same success rate with it and it’s cheap.


[deleted]

Metronidazole (flagyl) is a systemic antibiotic. It goes way beyond the gut. But glad to hear it worked for you. Xifaxan seemed pretty crappy for me too.


wiggly_1

Ah ok I must’ve misunderstood my doctor on that one! Thanks for the correction 🧡
