Medication name: Hidrasec Racecadotril 30 mg 16 Sachets
\nDrug class: Antidiarrheal agent (intestinal antisecretory)<\/p>\n
Use:
\nThis medication is used to treat acute diarrhea in children and adults.
\nIt helps reduce excessive fluid and electrolyte loss from the intestines, restoring normal stool consistency and preventing dehydration.
\nIt is often used alongside oral rehydration solutions to ensure complete recovery.<\/p>\n
How it works:
\nThe active ingredient, racecadotril, works by inhibiting the enzyme enkephalinase in the intestinal wall.
\nThis prevents the breakdown of natural enkephalins, substances that regulate intestinal water and electrolyte balance.
\nBy preserving these enkephalins, racecadotril reduces excessive secretion of fluids into the intestine without slowing bowel movement, ensuring gentle and effective relief from diarrhea.<\/p>\n
Dosage and administration:
\nFor children over 3 months and adults, the usual dose is one sachet (30 mg) every 8 hours, preferably before meals, or as directed by a doctor.
\nPour the contents of one sachet into a small amount of water, juice, or soft food, mix well, and administer immediately.
\nTreatment should continue until diarrhea stops, but not for longer than 7 days without medical supervision.
\nAlways use together with oral rehydration fluids to prevent dehydration.<\/p>\n

\nHidrasec is generally well tolerated.
\nOccasional mild side effects may include headache, rash, nausea, or stomach discomfort.

\nConsult a doctor before use in children under 3 months or in patients with chronic diarrhea, high fever, or blood in the stool.
