Price ≠ effectiveness:

A lower-priced substitute doesn't mean it's less effective. Many generic medicines work just as well as branded ones.

Check the dosage form and strength:

Always match the substitute’s strength (e.g., 5mg, 10mg) and form (tablet, capsule, syrup) with what your doctor prescribed.

Uses

Racecadotril is an enkephalinase inhibitor that reduces the hypersecretion of water into the intestines. It helps decrease the loss of fluid from the body, thus reducing the symptoms of diarrhoea and the risk of dehydration. Together, Oflowic-RD Suspension helps treat cramps, loose/watery stools, bloating, nausea, vomiting, and weakness.
