Racecadotril

Capsule

Racecadotril Capsules are antidiarrheal medications used for the symptomatic treatment of acute diarrhea. Racecadotril helps reduce excessive intestinal fluid secretion without affecting normal bowel motility, thereby helping control diarrhea while maintaining natural intestinal transit.
The formulation is commonly used in the management of acute diarrhea associated with gastrointestinal infections and digestive disturbances. It helps reduce stool frequency, fluid loss, and dehydration risk when used along with adequate fluid and electrolyte replacement.
