Product Introduction:
AD 10MG SACHET is a pharmaceutical product containing Racecadotril at a strength of 10mg. Racecadotril is an antidiarrheal medication used to manage acute diarrhea.
Give AD 10mg Sachet to your child orally either before or after food, preferably in addition to ORS (oral rehydration solution). Usually, it is given three times a day, but this dose will vary depending upon the child’s body weight and age. If your child vomits within 30 minutes of taking AD 10mg Sachet, repeat the same dose once your child feels better. Along with taking this medicine, your child needs to drink plenty of fluids and eat a healthy balanced diet.
This medicine may cause some minor and short-term side effects such as headache, skin rash, and constipation. These episodes are temporary and subside on their own once the child’s body adapts to the medicine. However, in case they persist for long or start bothering your child, you must consult your child’s doctor without any delay.
Your child’s doctor must be aware if your child has ever had any previous episode of allergy, bowel obstruction, electrolyte imbalance, liver impairment, and kidney malfunction. This will guide the doctor in planning your child’s overall treatment.
Benefits:
- Antidiarrheal Action: Racecadotril is known for its ability to reduce the duration and severity of acute diarrhea. It works by inhibiting the enzyme enkephalinase, which leads to increased levels of endogenous enkephalins. This, in turn, helps regulate fluid and electrolyte balance in the intestines.
- Symptomatic Relief: AD 10MG SACHET provides symptomatic relief from diarrhea, helping to alleviate discomfort and inconvenience associated with this common gastrointestinal issue.
Side Effects:
Common side effects may include:
- Gastrointestinal discomfort (nausea, abdominal pain)
- Headache
- Dizziness
Serious side effects are rare, but if any severe or unusual symptoms occur, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly.
Usage Guidelines:
- Dosage: The dosage of AD 10MG SACHET is typically determined by the healthcare provider based on the severity of diarrhea and the individual’s response. Follow the prescribed dosage and duration of treatment.
- Administration: The contents of the sachet are usually dissolved in a small amount of water and taken orally. It can be taken with or without food.
- Stay Hydrated: It is important to stay well-hydrated, especially during episodes of diarrhea. Adequate fluid intake is crucial to prevent dehydration.
- Caution in Certain Conditions: Inform your healthcare provider about any pre-existing medical conditions, especially those related to the gastrointestinal system.
Drug Interactions:
Racecadotril is generally considered to have low potential for drug interactions. However, it’s essential to inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and supplements.
AD 10MG SACHET should be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional, and patients should be monitored for any signs of dehydration or worsening symptoms. If diarrhea persists or worsens, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.
