Hidrasec 30mg Sachet Ingredients and Usage

Hidrasec 30mg Sachets are intended for older children (typically weighing 13kg to 27kg) who are suffering from acute diarrhea. The 30mg dose of Racecadotril provides a stronger anti-secretory effect suitable for growing children. In Pakistan, it is widely used to bring quick relief from watery stools while allowing the child's digestive system to function naturally. It is particularly valued because it avoids the "rebound constipation" often seen with other medications. PakMeds provides these easy-to-use sachets to help your child get back to their normal activities as soon as possible.

How Does Hidrasec 30mg Sachet Work?

The medicine works by protecting the body's natural enkephalins from being broken down in the gut. These enkephalins are responsible for keeping the amount of water in the intestines balanced. When an infection causes diarrhea, this balance is lost. Hidrasec restores this balance by reducing the "over-secretion" of fluids. It effectively acts as an "intestinal faucet-turner," reducing the flow of excess water into the stool, which helps the child maintain their electrolyte balance and stay hydrated during the illness.

Hidrasec 30mg Sachet Side Effects

The 30mg sachets are very well tolerated by children. Mild side effects like a headache or localized skin rash may occur in rare cases. Because the medicine works locally in the gut and is only minimally absorbed into the blood, systemic side effects are almost non-existent. PakMeds advises parents to mix the granules with a small amount of soft food or a spoonful of water just before serving.

List of Warnings:

• Not suitable for children with hereditary fructose intolerance (as the granules may contain sugar).
• Always pair the treatment with plenty of fluids (ORS).
• Consult a doctor if the child's condition does not improve within 3 days.
• Do not exceed the daily dose based on the child's weight.

Hidrasec 30mg Sachet Storage Conditions

Store in a dry place at room temperature (below 30°C). Keep the sachets in the original carton to protect them from environmental factors. Keep out of reach of children.
