The administration of Rasec does not modify the usual rehydration regimens.
Rehydration is highly important in the management of acute diarrhoea in infants.
The requirement for rehydration and route should be adapted to the age, and weight of the patient and the stage and severity of the condition, specifically in case of serious or prolonged diarrhoea with significant vomiting or a lack of appetite.
In the event of serious or prolonged diarrhoea with important vomiting or a lack of appetite, intravenous rehydration should be considered.
The presence of bloody or purulent stools and fever may indicate the presence of invasive bacteria as a reason for diarrhoea, or the presence of other severe disease. Also, racecadotril has not been tested in antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Therefore, racecadotril should not be administered under these conditions.
Chronic diarrhoea has not been sufficiently studied with this product.
