Racecadotril

An antidiarrheal medication that works by inhibiting enkephalinase, an enzyme that breaks down enkephalins (natural pain-relieving substances in the gut). this helps reduce intestinal motility and fluid secretion, thereby relieving diarrhea.

Saccharomyces Boulardii

A specific strain of yeast that acts as a probiotic. it helps restore the balance of gut microbiota, improves intestinal barrier function, and competes with harmful bacteria, aiding in diarrhea recovery.

Treatment of acute diarrhea in adults and children (dosage adjusted according to age and weight)

May be used as an adjunctive therapy in reducing the duration and severity of acute infectious diarrhea.

Racecadotril reduces intestinal motility and fluid secretion, while Saccharomyces boulardii restores the gut microbiota balance, strengthens the intestinal barrier, and competes with pathogenic bacteria. Their combined action leads to faster recovery from diarrhea.
