Prices vary by pharmacy, insurance, and location, so always confirm at the counter. This is general reference, not medical or financial advice.

What people report to the FDA about RIFAMYCIN SODIUM
The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) collects reports from patients and clinicians. It holds 29 reports naming RIFAMYCIN SODIUM — the active ingredient in Aemcolo, and the FDA flagged 86% of those reports as serious. The effects reported most often — leaving out reports about overdose, misuse or the condition being treated, which dominate the raw list for common medicines:
- hepatic cytolysis4 reports
- abdominal pain2 reports
- immunodeficiency2 reports
- lymphadenopathy2 reports
- mycobacterial infection2 reports
- abortion induced1 reports
- adverse event1 reports
- confusional state1 reports
Read these as a signal, not a rate. A report does not mean RIFAMYCIN SODIUM caused the effect — anyone can file one, and many describe people taking several medicines for several conditions. Crucially there is no denominator: FAERS does not record how many people took the drug, so these counts cannot be turned into “X% of patients” — a bigger number often just means a more widely used or more talked-about drug. Duplicates exist, and publicity drives reporting. For what is actually established, read the FDA label.
