(NYSE and TASE: TEVA) today reported results for the year and the quarter ended December 31, 2025. Mr. Richard Francis, Teva's President and CEO, said: “In 2025, our Pivot to Growth strategy drove Teva's third year of consecutive growth, solidifying our transformation into a leading biopharmaceutical company. Our key innovative brands led our growth, reaching $1 billion in revenues in the fourth quarter of 2025 for the first time, and becoming a true engine of sustainable growth. Throughout the year, our teams executed with discipline across the business, driving momentum in innovative medicines, scaling our global generics and biosimilars portfolio, and further optimizing our operations and capital allocation. We also continue to make progress on our deleveraging, in line with our 2027 targets.” Mr. Francis continued: “Looking ahead, 2026 will be a milestone-rich year with multiple late-stage pipeline readouts across immunology and neurology; the anticipated FDA approval of olanzapine LAI, and important data expected for duvakitug, our anti-TL1A, and for our anti-IL-15 programs. Together, these pipeline assets represent a potential of over $10 billion, reinforcing our confidence in Teva’s ability to deliver durable, innovation-driven growth, creating real value for patients and shareholders alike." Pivot to Growth Strategy In 2025, we continued to execute on the four key pillars of our “Pivot to Growth” strategy, which we announced in May 2023. Delivering on our growth engines - We continued to showcase strong performance of our key innovative brands, mainly AUSTEDO, AJOVY, and UZEDY collectively, +35% YoY in revenues for 2025. During 2025, the FDA approved an expansion of AJOVY's indication, to include its use as an anti-CGRP preventive treatment for pediatric episodic migraine, as well as an expansion of UZEDY as treatment for adults living with Bipolar 1 Disorder. Stepping up innovation - We continued to accelerate the development of certain key pipeline assets. Teva submitted a New Drug Application for olanzapine LAI to the FDA in December 2025, and during the year we received FDA fast track designations for both emrusolmin in MSA and our IL-15 (TEV-‘408) for Celiac Disease. Phase 3 programs for duvakitug (anti-TL1A) in ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease were initiated, and Teva is working with its partner Sanofi on targeting additional indications. By the end of 2025, we achieved the targeted initial enrollment for adult and pediatric populations for DARI’s (Dual-action Asthma Rescue Inhaler) Phase 3 trial. In January 2026, we announced a funding agreement to accelerate the development of anti-IL-15 (TEV-‘408) for vitiligo with Royalty Pharma.Sustaining our generics powerhouse - We continued to optimize our generics business and build a strong pipeline of biosimilars; For biosimilars, we launched SELARSDITM (ustekinumab-aekn) the biosimilar to Stelara® and EPYSQLI®(eculizumab-aagh) the biosimilar to Soliris®, and also received EMA approvals for PONLIMSI® (denosumab) the biosimilar to Prolia® and DEGEVMA® (denosumab) the biosimilar to Xgeva®.Focusing our business - We are actively transforming and modernizing our business through Teva Transformation programs. On May 7, 2025, we announced that these programs are expected to generate ~$700 million of net savings through 2027. In 2025, we achieved $70 million in savings and expect to realize two-thirds of the targeted savings by 2026. We continued to optimize our portfolio and global manufacturing footprint. In addition, we continue our deleveraging efforts, reducing our gross debt levels to $16.8 billion and net debt to $13.3 billion through cash flow, repayment and refinancing, and optimizing our working capital management. In response to our improved capital structure and stronger underlying performance, our credit ratings were upgraded by one level at three credit ratings agencies in 2025. 2025 Annual Consolidated Results Revenues in 2025 were $17,258 million, an increase of 4% in U.S. dollars, or 3%, in local currency terms, compared to 2024. This increase was mainly due to higher revenues from our key innovative products AUSTEDO, AJOVY and UZEDY and from development milestone payments received in connection with the initiation of Phase 3 studies for duvakitug (anti-TL1A), partially offset by lower revenues from our International Markets segment due to the divestment of our business venture in Japan, from certain other innovative products across all our segments, lower proceeds from the sale of certain product rights, and from generic products in our Europe segment. Exchange rate movements during 2025, net of hedging effects, positively impacted revenues by $152 million and negatively impacted both operating income and non-GAAP operating income by $48 million, each as compared to 2024. Gross profit was $8,938 million in 2025, an increase of 11% compared to 2024. Gross profit margin was 51.8% in 2025, compared to 48.7% in 2024. Non-GAAP gross profit was $9,647 million in 2025, an increase of 9% compared to 2024. Non-GAAP gross profit margin was 55.9% in 2025, compared to 53.3% in 2024. This increase in both gross profit margin and non-GAAP gross margin was mainly due to a favorable mix of products, primarily driven by higher revenues from AUSTEDO, and development milestone payments received in connection with the initiation of Phase 3 studies for duvakitug (anti-TL1A), partially offset by lower proceeds from the sale of certain product rights. Research and Development (R&D) expenses, net in 2025 were $1,013 million, an increase of 2% compared to $998 million in 2024. Our higher R&D expenses, net in 2025 compared to 2024, were mainly due to an increase in immunology and in immuno-oncology, as well as in neuroscience (mainly neurodegeneration), partially offset by the non-recurrence of milestone payments related to certain biosimilar projects and lower expenses related to generics projects. Selling and Marketing (S&M) expenses in 2025 were $2,686 million, an increase of 6% compared to 2024. This increase was mainly to support revenue growth in our innovative portfolio, primarily AUSTEDO, and due to a negative impact from exchange rate fluctuations. General and Administrative (G&A) expenses in 2025 were $1,287 million, an increase of 11% compared to 2024. This increase was mainly due to costs related to optimization activities of our global organization and operations in connection with our Transformation programs, as well as a negative impact from exchange rate fluctuations. Operating Income was $2,157 million in 2025, compared to an operating loss of $303 million in 2024. Operating Income as a percentage of revenues was 12.5% in 2025, compared to an operating loss as a percentage of revenues of 1.8% in 2024. This change was mainly due to the goodwill impairment charges incurred in 2024, and in 2025, due to lower other asset impairment, restructuring and other items, as well as higher gross profit and lower legal settlements and loss contingencies in 2025. Non-GAAP operating income was $4,905 million in 2025, or 28.4% of revenues compared to $4,329 million, or 26.2% of revenues in 2024. The increase in non-GAAP operating margin was mainly affected by higher non-GAAP gross profit margin, as discussed above. In 2025, financial expenses, net were $934 million, compared to $981 million in 2024. Financial expenses in 2025 were mainly comprised of net-interest expenses of $824 million. Financial expenses in 2024 were mainly comprised of net-interest expenses of $915 million. In 2025, we recognized a tax benefit of $180 million on a pre-tax income of $1,223 million. In 2024, we recognized a tax expense of $676 million on a pre-tax loss of $1,284 million. Our effective tax rate for 2025 was the result of a variety of factors, including the geographic mix and type of products sold during the year, different effective tax rates applicable to non‐Israeli subsidiaries that have tax rates different than Teva’s average tax rate, adjustments to valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, adjustments to uncertain tax positions and net deferred tax benefits from intellectual property related integration plans. Non-GAAP tax rate for 2025 was 15.8%, compared to 15.3% in 2024. Our non-GAAP tax rate for 2025 was the result of a variety of factors, including the geographic mix and type of products sold during the year, different effective tax rates applicable to non‐Israeli subsidiaries that have tax rates different than Teva’s average tax rate, adjustments to valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, adjustments to uncertain tax positions and net deferred tax benefits from intellectual property related integration plans. Net income attributable to Teva and diluted earnings per share in 2025 were $1,410 million and $1.21, respectively, compared to net loss attributable to Teva and loss per share of $1,639 million and $1.45, in 2024. This change was mainly due to the changes in operating income and income taxes, as discussed above, partially offset by net loss attributable to non-controlling interests in 2024. Non-GAAP net income attributable to Teva and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share in 2025 were $3,411 million and $2.93, respectively, compared to $2,860 million and $2.49 in 2024. Adjusted EBITDA was $5,305 million in 2025, compared to $4,781 million in 2024. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the fully diluted share count for purposes of calculating our market capitalization was approximately 1,184 million and 1,174 million, respectively. Non-GAAP information: non-GAAP adjustments for non-GAAP net income attributable to Teva and non-GAAP diluted EPS in 2025 were $2,001 million and consisted of the following adjustments: Amortization of purchased intangible assets totaling $581 million, of which $541 million is included in cost of goods sold and the remaining $40 million in S&M expenses;Legal settlements and loss contingencies of $473 million;Impairment of long-lived assets of $1,029 million;Restructuring expenses of $225 million;Equity compensation expenses of $157 million;Contingent consideration expenses of $54 million;Loss on sale of business of $22 million;Accelerated depreciation of $21 million;Financial expenses of $69 million;Items attributable to non-controlling interests of $2 million;Other non-GAAP items of $186 million; andCorresponding tax effects and unusual tax items of $819 million. We believe that excluding such items facilitates investors’ understanding of our business including underlying trends, thereby improving the comparability of our business performance results between reporting periods. For a reconciliation of the U.S. GAAP results to the adjusted non-GAAP figures and for additional information, see the tables below and the information included under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” Investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as replacement for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Cash flow generated from operating activities in 2025 was $1,649 million, compared to $1,247 million in 2024. The increase in 2025 resulted mainly from development milestone payments received in connection with the initiation of Phase 3 studies for duvakitug (anti-TL1A), partially offset by higher legal settlement payments. Net changes in working capital items were neutral. During 2025, we generated free cash flow of $2,396 million, which we define as comprising $1,649 million in cash flow generated from operating activities, $1,214 million in beneficial interest collected in exchange for securitized accounts receivable (under our EU securitization program) and $34 million proceeds from divestitures of businesses and other assets, partially offset by $501 million in cash used for capital investments. During 2024, we generated free cash flow of $2,068 million, which we define as comprising $1,247 million in cash flow generated from operating activities, $1,291 million in beneficial interest collected in exchange for securitized accounts receivables (under our EU securitization program) and $43 million in proceeds from divestitures of businesses and other assets, partially offset by $498 million in cash used for capital investments and $15 million in cash used for acquisition of businesses, net of cash acquired. The increase in 2025 resulted mainly from higher cash flow generated from operating activities. As of December 31, 2025, our debt was $16,807 million, compared to $17,783 million as of December 31, 2024. This decrease was mainly due to repayment at maturity of $1,812 million of our senior notes, partially offset by an increase of $803 million due to exchange rate fluctuations. The portion of total debt classified as short-term as of December 31, 2025 was 11%, compared to 10% as of December 31, 2024. Our average debt maturity was approximately 5.6 years as of December 31, 2025, compared to 5.5 years as of December 31, 2024. Fourth Quarter 2025 Consolidated Results Revenues in the fourth quarter of 2025 were $4,711 million, an increase of 11% in U.S. dollars or 9% in local currency terms, compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. This increase was mainly due to development milestone payments received in connection with the initiation of Phase 3 studies for duvakitug (anti-TL1A) and from higher revenues from our key innovative products, primarily AUSTEDO, partially offset by lower proceeds from the sale of certain product rights and lower revenues from our International Markets segment due to the divestment of our business venture in Japan. Exchange rate movements during the fourth quarter of 2025, net of hedging effects, positively impacted revenues by $99 million and negatively impacted both operating income and non-GAAP operating income by $18 million, each as compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. Gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2025 was $2,656 million, an increase of 25% compared to $2,120 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Gross profit margin was 56.4% in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to 50.1% in the fourth quarter of 2024. Non-GAAP gross profit was $2,840 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, an increase of 22%, compared to $2,319 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Non-GAAP gross profit margin was 60.3% in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to 54.8% in the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase in both gross profit margin and non-GAAP gross profit margin was mainly due to the development milestone payments received in connection with the initiation of Phase 3 studies for duvakitug (anti-TL1A), and a favorable mix of products, primarily driven by higher revenues from AUSTEDO, partially offset by lower proceeds from the sale of certain product rights. Research and Development (R&D) expenses, net in the fourth quarter of 2025 were $267 million, an increase of 8% compared to $248 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Our higher R&D expenses, net in the fourth quarter of 2025, were mainly due to an increase in our late-stage innovative pipeline in immunology, partially offset by a decline in our late-stage innovative pipeline in neuroscience, the non-recurrence of milestone payments related to certain biosimilar projects, as well as lower expenses related to generics projects. Selling and Marketing (S&M) expenses in the fourth quarter of 2025 were $753 million, an increase of 16% compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. This increase was mainly to support revenue growth in our innovative portfolio, primarily AUSTEDO, and due to a negative impact from exchange rate fluctuations. General and Administrative (G&A) expenses in the fourth quarter of 2025 were $367 million, an increase of 22% compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. This increase was mainly due to costs related to optimization activities of Teva’s global organization and operations in connection with Teva’s Transformation programs, as well as a negative impact from exchange rate fluctuations. Operating income in the fourth quarter of 2025 was $300 million, compared to an operating loss of $29 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Operating income as a percentage of revenues was 6.4% in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to an operating loss as a percentage of revenues of 0.7% in the fourth quarter of 2024. This increase was mainly due to higher gross profit, as well as goodwill impairment charges in the fourth quarter of 2024, partially offset by higher charges related to other assets impairment, restructuring and other items. Non-GAAP operating income in the fourth quarter of 2025 was $1,532 million representing a non-GAAP operating margin of 32.5%, compared to non-GAAP operating income of $1,168 million representing a non-GAAP operating margin of 27.6% in the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase in non-GAAP operating margin in the fourth quarter of 2025 was due to an increase in non-GAAP gross profit margin, as discussed above. Financial expenses, net in the fourth quarter of 2025 were $220 million, mainly comprised of net-interest expenses of $200 million. In the fourth quarter of 2024, financial expenses, net were $218 million, mainly comprised of net-interest expenses of $224 million. In the fourth quarter of 2025, we recognized a tax benefit of $389 million, on a pre-tax income of $80 million. In the fourth quarter of 2024, we recognized a tax expense of $29 million, on a pre-tax loss of $247 million. Our effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2025 was the result of a variety of factors, including the geographic mix and type of products sold during the year, different effective tax rates applicable to non‐Israeli subsidiaries that have tax rates different than Teva’s average tax rate, adjustments to valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, net deferred tax benefits from intellectual property related integration plans and adjustments to uncertain tax positions. Non-GAAP tax rate in the fourth quarter of 2025 was 15.5%, compared to 14.8% in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Net income attributable to Teva and diluted earnings per share in the fourth quarter of 2025 were $480 million and $0.41, respectively, compared to net loss attributable to Teva and diluted loss per share of $217 million and $0.19, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2024. This change was mainly due to higher gross profit and tax benefits as discussed above. Non-GAAP net income attributable to Teva and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share in the fourth quarter of 2025 were $1,130 million and $0.96, respectively, compared to $816 million and $0.71, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA was $1,637 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, an increase of 28%, compared to $1,282 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.

For a reconciliation of the U.S. GAAP results to the adjusted non-GAAP figures and for additional information, see the tables below and the information included under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” Investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as replacement for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Cash flow generated from operating activities during the fourth quarter of 2025 was $1,158 million, compared to $575 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The higher cash flow generated from operating activities in the fourth quarter of 2025 resulted mainly from development milestone payments received in connection with the initiation of Phase 3 studies for duvakitug (anti-TL1A), as well as improvements in our net working capital, specifically accounts payable. During the fourth quarter of 2025, we generated free cash flow of $1,298 million, which we define as comprising $1,158 million in cash flow generated from operating activities, $282 million in beneficial interest collected in exchange for securitized accounts receivables (under our EU securitization program), partially offset by $142 million in cash used for capital investment.

AJOVY revenues in our United States segment in the fourth quarter of 2025 were $105 million, an increase of 68% compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, mainly due to growth in volume. In the fourth quarter of 2025, AJOVY’s exit market share in the United States in terms of total number of prescriptions was 33.3% out of subcutaneous injectable anti-CGRP class, compared to 29.6% in the fourth quarter of 2024. AUSTEDO revenues (which include AUSTEDO XR®) in our United States segment in the fourth quarter of 2025 were $725 million, an increase of 40%, compared to $518 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. This increase was mainly due to growth in volume and a reduction in sales allowances. AUSTEDO XR (deutetrabenazine) extended-release tablets was approved by the FDA on February 17, 2023 in three doses of 6, 12 and 24 mg, and became commercially available in the U.S. in May 2023. The FDA approved AUSTEDO XR as a one pill, once-daily treatment option in doses of 30, 36, 42, and 48 mg in May 2024 and in 18 mg dose in July 2024. AUSTEDO XR is a once-daily formulation indicated in adults for tardive dyskinesia and chorea associated with Huntington’s disease, which is additional to the currently marketed twice-daily AUSTEDO. AUSTEDO XR is protected by 11 Orange Book patents expiring between 2031 and 2041. During 2025, Teva and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) negotiated a maximum fair price for AUSTEDO and AUSTEDO XR, based on CMS’s list of prescription medicines selected for price-setting discussions, in which they were originally included. The agreement was announced by the CMS in November 2025. The revised prices set by the U.S. Government will become effective on January 1, 2027 and will apply to eligible Medicare patients. UZEDY (risperidone) extended-release injectable suspension revenues in our United States segment in the fourth quarter of 2025 were $55 million, an increase of 28% compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, mainly due to growth in volume. BENDEKA and TREANDA combined revenues in our United States segment in the fourth quarter of 2025 were $35 million, a decrease of 14% compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, mainly due to competition from alternative therapies, as well as from generic bendamustine products. COPAXONE revenues in our United States segment in the fourth quarter of 2025 were $77 million, an increase of 22% compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, mainly due to reduction in sales allowances, partially offset by lower volumes. Anda revenues from third-party products in our United States segment in the fourth quarter of 2025 were $366 million, a decrease of 9%, compared to $402 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. This decrease was mainly due to lower volumes. Anda, our distribution business in the United States, distributes generic and innovative medicines and OTC pharmaceutical products from Teva and various third-party manufacturers to independent retail pharmacies, pharmacy retail chains, hospitals and physician offices in the United States.

Gross profit margin for our United States segment in the fourth quarter of 2025 increased to 69.0%, compared to 55.6% in the fourth quarter of 2024. This increase was mainly due to the development milestone payments received in connection with the initiation of Phase 3 studies for duvakitug (anti-TL1A), and a favorable mix of products primarily driven by higher revenues from AUSTEDO.

Segment profit does not include amortization and certain other items. Profit from our United States segment in the fourth quarter of 2025 was $1,181 million, an increase of 108% compared to $569 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Post Quarter Developments To align with Teva's Pivot to Growth strategy, commencing January 1, 2026, Anda will no longer be reported under Teva's United States segment.

As a result, from that date, Anda will be reported as part of the Company’s Other Activities. In January 2026, we announced a funding agreement to accelerate the development of anti-IL-15 (TEV-‘408) for vitiligo with Royalty Pharma; in addition, Teva and Abingworth signed an amendment to the development funding agreement to increase the total development funding by an additional $50 million for DARI (ICS-SABA). 2026 Financial Outlook $ billions, except diluted EPS or as noted 2026 Outlook Revenues 16.4 - 16.8 AUSTEDO ($m) 2,400 - 2,550 AJOVY ($m) 750 - 790 UZEDY ($m) 250 - 280 Operating Income* 4.55-4.8 Adjusted EBITDA* 5.0-5.3 Finance Expenses* ($m) ~800 Tax Rate* 16% - 19% Diluted EPS* ($) 2.57 - 2.77 Free Cash Flow* 2.0 - 2.4 CAPEX 0.5 Foreign Exchange Volatile swings in FX can negativelyimpact revenue and income 1,177M shares *Certain items above are non-GAAP financial measures.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures This press release contains certain financial information that differs from what is reported under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). These non-GAAP financial measures, including, but not limited to, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross profit margin, Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, non-GAAP tax rate, non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to Teva and non-GAAP diluted EPS, are presented in order to facilitate investors' understanding of our business. We utilize certain non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate performance in conjunction with other performance metrics. The following are examples of how we utilize the non-GAAP measures: our management and board of directors use the non-GAAP measures to evaluate our operational performance and, to compare our results against work plans and budgets, and ultimately to evaluate the performance of management; our annual budgets are prepared on a non-GAAP basis; and senior management’s annual compensation is derived, in part, using these non-GAAP measures. See the attached tables for a reconciliation of the GAAP results to the adjusted non-GAAP measures. Investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as replacements for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. We are not providing the most comparable forward-looking GAAP measures for non-GAAP metrics included in our financial outlook or a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures because we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain significant items including, but not limited to, the amortization of purchased intangible assets, legal settlements and loss contingencies, impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill impairment, without unreasonable effort. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to our results computed in accordance with GAAP.

TUESDAY, August 5, 2025 — C. diff , which is short for Clostridioides difficile , is a type of bacteria that may cause serious problems in the digestive system. It is one of the most common causes of diarrhea linked to antibiotic use, particularly in hospitals and health care facilities. While most healthy people have natural defenses that prevent infection, certain situations allow these bacteria to grow out of control and cause harm. The bacteria may lead to inflammation in the colon, known as colitis. Toxins cause this inflammation, which the bacteria produce when they multiply unchecked. These bacteria usually live in the intestines alongside trillions of other microorganisms that help maintain digestive balance. But the balance of healthy bacteria may be disrupted after taking antibiotics, leading to an overgrowth of C. diff and the release of toxins. Antibiotics intended to treat infections elsewhere in the body can inadvertently kill off the “good” bacteria in the gut, making room for harmful bacteria, such as C. diff , to flourish. These toxins damage the lining of the colon and can cause a significant infection. Even a short course of antibiotics may lead to a C. diff infection, especially in people with weakened immune systems or those who have recently been hospitalized. Symptoms of C. diff C. diff infections may range from mild to life-threatening. Symptoms often appear a few days after starting antibiotics, but can sometimes take longer to develop. Early recognition of these symptoms is important to avoid serious complications. Common signs include: Frequent, watery diarrhea: This is the most common symptom and can occur multiple times a day. Frequent, watery diarrhea: This is the most common symptom and can occur multiple times a day. Abdominal cramps or pain: Pain is usually felt in the lower abdomen and may worsen after eating.

Nausea: It is often accompanied by a general sense of discomfort or unease. Vomiting: Though less common, it can occur alongside other digestive symptoms. Vomiting: Though less common, it can occur alongside other digestive symptoms. Fever: A low-grade fever may signal the body’s immune response to the infection. Fever: A low-grade fever may signal the body’s immune response to the infection. Blood or pus in the stool: This is a sign of inflammation or damage to the colon lining. Blood or pus in the stool: This is a sign of inflammation or damage to the colon lining. Loss of appetite: This is often a result of nausea, pain and the overall illness. Loss of appetite: This is often a result of nausea, pain and the overall illness. Patients often describe a foul or unusual smell in their stools, which can be a distinct sign of C. diff . The change in stool smell alone is not enough for a diagnosis, but it can prompt further testing, especially when paired with diarrhea and abdominal cramping. In severe cases, patients may become dehydrated or develop serious complications like colitis or sepsis. In these cases, you could have a rapid heartbeat, low blood pressure, confusion or difficulty breathing. If untreated, severe cases may lead to life-threatening outcomes. Sometimes people can carry C. diff without any symptoms but may still pass it on to others through direct or indirect contact. How is C. diff diagnosed? If you or your doctor suspect a C. diff infection, a stool test will likely be ordered to confirm the diagnosis. These tests detect the presence of C. diff toxins or genetic material in the stool. Blood tests may also reveal signs of infection or inflammation, such as an elevated white blood cell count. Doctors typically consider testing for C. diff when a patient has persistent diarrhea after recent antibiotic use, particularly if they have other risk factors such as hospitalization or taking medications that suppress the immune system, such as steroids or chemotherapy. In some cases, imaging studies such as a CT (computed tomography) scan may be used to assess the extent of damage to the colon, especially if serious complications like toxic megacolon are suspected. How do you treat C. diff ? Most cases of C. diff are treated with oral antibiotics that specifically target the infection, such as vancomycin or fidaxomicin . These medications work by eliminating the C. diff bacteria while helping to preserve the healthy gut bacteria that remain. In some cases, stopping the antibiotic that caused the issue may help the body naturally rebalance its gut bacteria. However, this is not always enough to resolve the infection. If symptoms worsen, the patient may require surgery to remove part of the large intestine, particularly in severe or life-threatening cases where complications like perforation occur. If the infection returns — which occurs in about 1 in 4 cases — doctors may recommend a second course of antibiotics or a fecal microbiota transplant (FMT). FMT is a procedure that uses a colonoscope to introduce healthy donor stool into the patient’s colon to restore a balanced gut microbiome. This treatment has been highly effective for recurrent C. diff infections. It can also be performed using an enema or capsules. Recovery varies by individual. Some people may experience improvement within a few days of starting treatment, while others may require several weeks to recover fully. What causes C. diff ? The most common cause of a C. diff infection is recent or prolonged use of antibiotics. While antibiotics are an essential part of the general medical care we provide to patients, their overuse may eliminate the “good” bacteria that keep C. diff in check. Additional causes include: Hospital stays or long-term care: These environments often have higher rates of exposure to C. diff spores.

Weakened immune systems: Individuals with chronic illnesses, recent surgeries or those undergoing immunosuppressive treatments are at a greater risk.

Having a weakened immune system: Chronic illnesses or treatments may increase vulnerability. Having a weakened immune system: Chronic illnesses or treatments may increase vulnerability. A personal history of C. diff infection: Previous infections raise the risk of recurrence. A personal history of C. diff infection: Previous infections raise the risk of recurrence. People may also contract C. diff even without recent antibiotic use. The bacteria’s spores spread through contact with infected surfaces, people or medical equipment. These spores are resistant to many standard cleaning agents and can survive on surfaces for long periods. Handwashing with soap and water is necessary for prevention, as alcohol-based sanitizers do not kill C. diff . Living with C. diff Living with a C. diff infection can lead to complications if it is not appropriately treated. Severe cases can lead to long-term digestive issues, ongoing diarrhea and a greater risk of dehydration and malnutrition. Beyond the physical toll, recurring C. diff infections may cause emotional stress, anxiety about their return and limitations on travel or social activities due to symptoms. People recovering from C. diff should work closely with their health care team to monitor for any symptoms, adjust medications as needed, and receive support for hydration and nutrition. Can C. diff raise your cancer risk? Researchers are studying the link between C. diff and colorectal cancer. Some evidence suggests repeated or chronic inflammation from C. diff infections may increase long-term colorectal cancer risk. Chronic inflammation may damage the cells lining the colon over time, potentially raising the risk of abnormal cell growth. However, further research is needed to fully understand this connection and determine the extent of the risk. How to reduce your risk You may reduce your risk of C. diff by: Taking antibiotics only when necessary and as directed by a health care professional. This point serves as a reminder never to pressure your doctor into prescribing antibiotics when they are not required, such as for colds or other viral infections.
