About this product
Overview
Hilrace 10mg Sachet contains Racecadotril, a medication used to manage acute diarrhea by reducing excessive fluid secretion in the intestines. Racecadotril works by inhibiting the enzyme responsible for the increased intestinal fluid secretion during diarrhea, thereby helping to restore normal bowel function and alleviate associated symptoms.
Features
- Anti-Diarrheal: Racecadotril in Hilrace 10mg Sachet acts as an anti-diarrheal agent by targeting the underlying cause of diarrhea, which is the excessive fluid secretion in the intestines.
- Symptom Relief: By decreasing fluid loss and promoting the reabsorption of electrolytes and water in the intestines, Racecadotril helps alleviate symptoms such as loose stools, abdominal discomfort, and dehydration associated with acute diarrhea.
- Well-Tolerated: Racecadotril is generally well-tolerated and does not typically cause constipation, making it suitable for use in both adults and children.
Uses
- Acute Diarrhea: Hilrace 10mg Sachet is indicated for the symptomatic treatment of acute diarrhea in adults and children aged 3 months and older.
- Symptom Alleviation: It aids in relieving diarrhea-related symptoms, including frequent, watery stools, abdominal cramps, and dehydration by reducing fluid loss in the intestines.
Directions for Use
- Empty the contents of one sachet of Hilrace 10mg into a glass of water, stir well, and consume immediately.
- The recommended dosage for adults and children over 12 years of age is typically one sachet taken three times a day.
- For children aged 3 months to 12 years, the dosage is determined based on body weight and should be advised by a healthcare professional.
- It is preferable to take Hilrace 10mg Sachet with or after meals to enhance absorption and efficacy.
Precautions
- Prior to using Hilrace 10mg Sachet, inform your healthcare provider about any pre-existing medical conditions, allergies, or concurrent medications.
