While not a formal regulatory drug class established by the FDA, "antibiotics for hyperammonemia" is a functional clinical grouping of gut-active antimicrobial agents, primarily rifaximin and historically neomycin, employed to manage elevated blood ammonia levels.
These agents work predominantly within the gastrointestinal lumen to suppress the proliferation of urease-producing enteric bacteria, thereby reducing the bacterial breakdown of urea and protein into ammonia and limiting its systemic absorption.
This therapeutic strategy is primarily utilized in the management of hepatic encephalopathy secondary to cirrhosis or acute-on-chronic liver disease, typically as an adjunct or alternative to nonabsorbable disaccharides.
