REDOTIL 10MG (Racecadotril (10mg))

Redotil Sachet is frequently indicated for managing the symptoms associated with acute diarrhea in young children and infants. This medication is typically administered when the condition cannot be adequately managed through hydration and dietary changes alone. It functions by decreasing the loss of fluids and electrolytes in stool, thereby helping to restore balance. Administration of Redotil is done orally and can be given either with meals or between them, but it is often recommended to be used alongside an oral rehydration solution (ORS) for optimal effectiveness. The usual frequency of dosing is three times daily, though adjustments may be necessary based on the individual child’s age and weight. Should your child experience vomiting within a half-hour after taking the medication, the same dosage can be given again once they feel better. It is vital to ensure that your child remains well-hydrated and maintains a nutritious diet during treatment. While this medication is generally well-tolerated, some children may experience mild and temporary side effects, including symptoms such as headache, skin rash, fever, respiratory issues, and constipation. These side effects are usually short-lived and resolve as the child’s body adjusts to the treatment. However, if these symptoms persist or cause distress, a consultation with your child’s healthcare provider is recommended. Additionally, it is crucial for the prescribing physician to be informed of any prior allergic reactions, history of bowel obstruction, imbalances in electrolytes, or any existing liver or kidney issues, as this information will assist in determining the most appropriate management plan.
