About this item
Hidrasec is a "pure intestinal anti-secretory" agent. During a bout of diarrhea, the intestines often produce too much fluid, leading to watery stools and dehydration. Hidrasec targets the specific enzymes responsible for this over-secretion. Because it does not slow down the natural transit time of the gut, it allows the body to continue flushing out harmful bacteria or toxins while preventing dangerous dehydration.
Dosage of Hidrasec 100mg This is a Prescription-Only Medicine (POM).
- Adults: One 100mg capsule taken three times daily.
- Initial Dose: One 100mg capsule immediately, regardless of the time of day, followed by three doses per day thereafter.
- Duration: Treatment should be continued until two normal stools are recorded. Treatment should not exceed 7 consecutive days.
Proper Administration
- Method: Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water.
- Timing: Preferably taken before the main meals.
- Rehydration: Crucial: Always use Hidrasec in conjunction with Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS). While Hidrasec stops the fluid loss, ORS replaces what has already been lost.
How to Store and Dispose of Hidrasec 100mg
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C. Protect from moisture.
- Disposal: Keep out of reach of children. Return unused capsules to a pharmacy for safe disposal.
Quick Tips for Hidrasec 100mg
- Diet: While recovering, stick to a "BRAT" diet (Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, Toast) and avoid spicy, fatty, or dairy-heavy foods until the diarrhea stops.
- The "Safety" Advantage: Since it doesn't cause constipation (a common side effect of other anti-diarrheals), it is often better tolerated for routine acute cases.
- Watch for Warning Signs: If your diarrhea is accompanied by high fever or blood/pus in the stool, consult a doctor immediately, as this may indicate a bacterial infection requiring antibiotics.
Safety and Precautions
Contraindications of Hidrasec 100mg
- Renal/Hepatic Impairment: Due to limited data, use is not recommended in patients with severe kidney or liver disease.
- Chronic Diarrhea: Not intended for use in chronic or antibiotic-associated diarrhea.
- Allergy: Do NOT use if you are allergic to Racecadotril or any of the inactive ingredients.
Side Effects of Hidrasec 100mg
- Common: Headache.
- Rare: Skin rash, redness (erythema), or itching.
- Action: If you experience swelling of the face, tongue, or lips (angioedema), stop use and seek immediate medical help.
Precautions and Warnings
- Lactose Sensitivity: This product contains lactose. If you have a severe intolerance to certain sugars, consult your doctor before use.
- Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Due to a lack of clinical studies, Hidrasec is not recommended for use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
- Blood in Stool: If your stool is bloody or black, do not use Hidrasec without a medical diagnosis.
- Pack Size: 20 Capsules.
- Manufacturer: Abbott.
- Form: Oral Capsule.
- Active Ingredient: Racecadotril 100mg.
