Generic Name Racecadotril
Strength 30mg Racecadotril
Dosage Form Granules for Oral Suspension
Class Name Antidiarrheal
Indication/Usage Complementary symptomatic treatment of acute diarrhea in infants (older than 3 months) and children together with oral rehydration (ORS).
If causal treatment of acute diarrhea is possible, racecadotril can be co-administered.
Dosage and Administration The recommended dose is determined according to body weight: 1.5 mg/kg per dose (corresponding to 1 to 2 sachets), three times daily at regular intervals.
In infant less than 9 kg: one 10 mg sachet 3 times daily. In infant from 9 kg to < 13 kg: two 10 mg sachets 3 times daily. In children from 13 kg to 27 kg: one 30 mg sachet 3 times daily. In children of more than 27 kg: two 30 mg sachets 3 times daily.
Treatment should be continued until two normal stools are recorded. Treatment duration should not exceed 7 days.
Long-term treatment with racecadotril is not recommended. There are no clinical trials in infants fewer than 3 months of age.
Warning and Precautions - Rehydration is highly important in the management of acute diarrhea in infants.
- The presence of bloody or purulent stools and fever may indicate the presence of invasive bacteria
as a reason for diarrhea or the presence of other severe disease, warranting causal (e.g. antibiotic)
treatment or further investigation. Therefore, racecadotril should not be administered under these
conditions.
-In patients with diabetes, it should be taken into account that each sachet contains:
Racecadotril (Hidrasec) Infants: 0.966 g of sucrose
Racecadotril (Hidrasec) Children: 2.899 g of sucrose
- The product must not be administered to infants less than 3 months old, as there are no clinical
trials in this population.
- The product must not be administered to children with renal or liver impairment, whatever the
degree of severity, due to a lack of information on these patient populations.
- Occurrence of skin reactions has been reported with the use of the product
- Hypersensitivity/Angioedema have been reported in patients with racecadotril.
Contraindication • Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients.
• Patients who have reported angioedema with angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (such as captopril, enalapril, lisinopril, perindopril, ramipril) should not take racecadotril.
Due to the presence of sucrose, Racecadotril (Hidrasec) Infants/ Children is contraindicated in patients with rare hereditary problems of fructose intolerance, glucose-galactose malabsorption syndrome or sucrase- isomaltase insufficiency.
