RACEDOTERIL 100 Mg : Benefits, Dosage, and Uses of Racecadotril 100mg

Introduction

RACEDOTERIL 100 contains Racecadotril 100 mg, a modern and effective antidiarrheal agent designed to provide rapid and safe relief from acute diarrhea, especially in adults and older children. Unlike traditional antimotility drugs, Racecadotril works by reducing the secretion of water and electrolytes in the intestine, making it a safe and well-tolerated choice.

What is Racecadotril 100mg?

Racecadotril is a peripherally acting enkephalinase inhibitor with potent antisecretory properties. It helps in controlling diarrhea by inhibiting excessive intestinal secretion, without affecting intestinal motility. This mechanism sets it apart from older antidiarrheal agents like loperamide, which slow gut movement.

RACEDOTERIL 100 Uses

(racecadotril capsules ip 100mg uses / racecadotril capsules 100mg uses)

RACEDOTERIL 100 is primarily used for the treatment of acute diarrhea in:

• Adults

• Adolescents (12 years and above)

• As a supportive treatment along with oral rehydration therapy (ORS)

It provides rapid relief from watery stools, reduces the frequency of bowel movements, and helps in rehydration efforts by minimizing fluid loss.

How RACEDOTERIL 100 Works

Racecadotril acts by inhibiting the enzyme enkephalinase, which degrades endogenous enkephalins in the intestinal epithelium. This inhibition leads to:

• Decreased CAMP activation

• Reduced hypersecretion of water and electrolytes into the intestine

• No impact on gut transit time, thereby avoiding the risk of rebound constipation

Dosage and Administration

• Recommended Dose (Adults & Adolescents ≥12 years):
  One capsule of Racecadotril 100 mg, three times a day, before meals.

• Duration: Treatment continues until two normal stools are passed, or for a maximum of 7 days.

• Always take with plenty of fluids (ORS recommended).

Consult a doctor before use, as safety during pregnancy and lactation has not been fully established.
