Abocran 25mg Sachet Ingredients and Usage

Abocran 25mg Sachet contains racecadotril, an antisecretory agent used as adjunct therapy in acute diarrhea, particularly in infants and children. Unlike traditional anti-diarrheal drugs that slow intestinal motility, racecadotril reduces excessive intestinal fluid secretion without affecting gut movement. Acute diarrhea can rapidly lead to dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and nutritional compromise in children. Abocran is used alongside oral rehydration salts (ORS) to reduce stool volume and duration of diarrhea, improving clinical outcomes. PakMeds provides Abocran Sachets as part of safe and evidence-based pediatric diarrhea management.

How Does Abocran 25mg Sachet Work?

Racecadotril inhibits the enzyme enkephalinase, resulting in increased levels of endogenous enkephalins in the intestinal mucosa. Enkephalins reduce cyclic AMP–mediated secretion of water and electrolytes into the intestinal lumen. This antisecretory mechanism decreases stool output without altering intestinal transit time, preserving normal digestion.

Abocran 25mg Sachet Side Effects

List of Warnings:
