Uses of Receca:
- Diarrhea
Acute diarrhoea
Hypersensitivity to Racecadotril, or to any of the excipients.
Anti-diarrhoeal
Racecadotril increases the availability of endogenous opioids (enkephalins) by inhibiting the membrane-bound enkephalinase. The enkephalins in turn mediate their effect through δ receptor ( delta opioid receptor) activation that induces a selective increase in Cl absorption by inhibiting adenylate cyclase.Onset: 30 min (plasma enkephalinase inhibition).

Anti-diarrhoeal
Racecadotril increases the availability of endogenous opioids (enkephalins) by inhibiting the membrane-bound enkephalinase. These enkephalins activate delta-opioid receptors in the GI tract. This leads to a reduction in cAMP mucosal levels, resulting in a reducted secretion of water and electrolytes in the intestinal lumen.
Due to a lack of clinical data, Racecadotril should not be administered to pregnant or breastfeeding women.
