Yes, you can, especially if the doctor has been informed about the medications you are taking.
Xifaxan (rifaximin) is an antibiotic used to treat symptomatic uncomplicated diverticular disease of the large intestine. Its effect is limited to the intestines because it is minimally absorbed into the bloodstream, which means that it should not affect microbiological test results from other locations, such as the urethra or vagina. In practice, swabs from these sites during treatment with Xifaxan are possible and should not interfere with the results, however, it is always advisable to consult a doctor for individual guidance.
