About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Lomotril 10DT Tablet Orange contains Racecadotril 10 mg, an effective antidiarrheal agent used in the symptomatic treatment of acute diarrhea. Racecadotril acts as an enkephalinase inhibitor, reducing the secretion of water and electrolytes into the intestinal lumen without affecting intestinal motility, thereby helping to restore normal stool consistency. This medication is indicated for adults and children above a certain age, providing rapid relief from watery diarrhea and associated dehydration risks. Lomotril 10DT is formulated as an orally disintegrating tablet with an orange flavor, enhancing patient compliance, especially in pediatric populations. The drug’s mechanism involves the inhibition of enkephalinase, leading to increased endogenous enkephalins that reduce hypersecretion in the gut. Lomotril 10DT should be used as part of a comprehensive management plan including fluid and electrolyte replacement. Contraindications include hypersensitivity to Racecadotril or any excipients, and caution is advised in patients with severe hepatic or renal impairment. Common adverse effects are generally mild and may include headache, rash, or gastrointestinal discomfort. Lomotril 10DT should be administered according to prescribed dosing guidelines, and any persistent symptoms warrant medical evaluation to exclude underlying conditions.
