About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Leedot 100mg Capsule contains Racecadotril, an effective antidiarrheal agent indicated for the symptomatic treatment of acute diarrhea in adults and children. Racecadotril acts as an enkephalinase inhibitor, reducing the secretion of water and electrolytes into the intestinal lumen without affecting intestinal motility, thereby minimizing the risk of constipation commonly associated with other antidiarrheals. Upon oral administration, Racecadotril is rapidly absorbed and metabolized to its active form, thiorphan, which exerts its therapeutic effect by inhibiting the degradation of endogenous enkephalins. This mechanism results in decreased hypersecretion and promotes the restoration of normal intestinal function. Leedot 100mg Capsule is generally well tolerated, with adverse effects being rare and mild, including occasional headache or rash. It is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to Racecadotril or any excipients. Caution is advised when administered to individuals with severe hepatic or renal impairment. The dosage should be adjusted according to the patient’s age and clinical condition, and it is recommended to use Leedot in conjunction with appropriate rehydration therapy to prevent dehydration. Consultation with a healthcare professional is essential before initiating treatment to ensure safety and efficacy.
