Introduction to Dotorac 100 Racecadotril Capsule 100 mg

Dotorac 100 Racecadotril Capsule 100 mg, manufactured by Lexaro Healthcare, offers a targeted approach to treating acute diarrhea. Racecadotril is a prodrug that, once metabolized, inhibits the enzyme enkephalinase, leading to a reduction in excessive intestinal fluid secretion.

Dotorac 100 is primarily used for:

Managing Acute Diarrhea: Provides effective relief from symptoms of acute diarrhea in adults and children.

Mechanism of Action of Dotorac 100 Racecadotril Capsule 100 mg

Racecadotril works by:

Inhibiting Enkephalinase: Racecadotril is metabolized to its active form, which inhibits the enzyme enkephalinase. This enzyme normally breaks down endogenous enkephalins, which help regulate intestinal fluid secretion.

Reducing Intestinal Fluid Secretion: By inhibiting enkephalinase, Racecadotril increases the levels of endogenous enkephalins, which reduce excessive fluid secretion in the intestines.

Alleviating Diarrhea Symptoms: The reduction in fluid secretion helps to normalize stool consistency and frequency, alleviating the symptoms of diarrhea.
