Xiafaxan is a prescription drug used to treat adults with traveler's diarrhea caused by E. coli and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It works by slowing down the movement of waste through the bowel, resulting in firmer stools and more frequent bowel movements. According to WebMD
If you have Medicare Part D, Xiafaxan is covered under your prescription drug plan. You should check with your insurance provider for specific details about what is covered and at what cost. You can also check your plan's formulary for more information.
If you are considering taking Xiafaxan, talk to your doctor first and make sure it is the best option for you. They will be able to answer any questions or concerns that you may have about this medication and its potential effects on other health conditions that you may have. Once you and your doctor have agreed to use Xiafaxan, there may be certain restrictions on coverage, including quantity limits or prior authorization requirements.
