About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Zedott 100mg Capsule contains Racecadotril, an effective antidiarrheal agent used primarily for the symptomatic treatment of acute diarrhea. Racecadotril acts as an enkephalinase inhibitor, reducing the hypersecretion of water and electrolytes in the intestines without affecting intestinal motility, thereby providing symptomatic relief from diarrhea while preserving normal bowel function. Zedott is indicated for both adults and children above a certain age, offering rapid onset of action and a favorable safety profile. The active ingredient, Racecadotril 100mg, is absorbed systemically and metabolized to its active form, thiorphan, which exerts the antisecretory effect by inhibiting enkephalinase enzymes in the intestinal mucosa. This mechanism helps restore fluid balance and reduce stool output. Zedott is generally well tolerated, with minimal adverse effects reported, such as mild gastrointestinal discomfort or rash. It is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to Racecadotril or any excipients, and caution is advised in patients with severe hepatic or renal impairment. It should be used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan including adequate rehydration therapy. Healthcare professionals should advise patients on proper dosing and duration of therapy to ensure optimal outcomes.
