Medical Overview
Hydrasec is listed as Gastrointestinal containing Racecadotril. A gastrointestinal medicine used for stomach or bowel symptoms depending on its class.
Hydrasec (racecadotril) — the pediatrician-trusted antidiarrheal: purely antisecretory (enkephalinase inhibition), cutting stool volume without paralyzing motility (no bacterial trapping, no rebound constipation). From 3 months, always WITH oral rehydration — never instead. Bloody/febrile diarrhea needs assessment, not antisecretories; dehydration signs are the emergency, not the diarrhea itself.
Uses / Indications
- Acute diarrhoea in children
- Acidity, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, or cramps depending on diagnosis.
Side Effects
- Headache
- rare rash
- Nausea, constipation or diarrhea, bloating, or headache depending on the medicine.
