Information About Racecadotril

Racecadotril is an enkephalinase inhibitor used to treat acute secretory diarrhoea in adults and children in Singapore. Available as a 10mg–100mg oral sachet or capsule taken three times daily before meals, it is HSA-registered and available on prescription only in Singapore. Unlike loperamide which reduces intestinal motility, racecadotril specifically reduces intestinal hypersecretion by blocking enkephalin breakdown — maintaining normal gut motility while reducing fluid loss, making it preferred for diarrhoea where motility reduction is contraindicated. A valid doctor's consultation is required before dispensing. Order Racecadotril online at DoctorOnCall Singapore with same-day delivery available.

Racecadotril belongs to a class of medications known as antisecretory antidiarrhoeal agents and is widely used in gastrointestinal care.
