Radola Capsule 100 mg contains Racecadotril, an antisecretory medication used to treat acute diarrhea in adults and children. Unlike traditional antidiarrheal drugs that slow intestinal motility, Radola works by reducing excess intestinal fluid secretion, helping restore normal stool consistency without causing constipation. This makes it a safe and effective option for managing watery diarrhea while maintaining normal bowel function.

Mechanism of Action

Racecadotril acts as a prodrug that is converted in the body to thiorphan, which inhibits enkephalinase in the intestinal lining:
