About Briogut Rz Sachets 1 gm

Briogut Rz Sachets 1 gm belongs to a group of medications called 'Antidiarrheals,' used to treat diarrhoea caused by various factors. It is effective in treating traveler’s diarrhoea (passage of loose stools during travel), rotavirus diarrhoea, antibiotic-associated diarrhoea, gastroenteritis-induced diarrhoea (caused by inflammation of the stomach and intestines due to an infection), and diarrhoea caused by the bacteria Clostridium difficile. Diarrhoea is a condition in which there is a frequent need to empty the bowels, characterized by loose and watery stools.

Briogut Rz Sachets 1 gm contains Racecadotril (an antisecretory agent), Saccharomyces boulardii (a probiotic), and Zinc (a mineral supplement). Racecadotril is a prodrug (inactive form) that gets converted into thiorphan (active form), which inhibits enkephalinase, an enzyme that breaks down natural substances called enkephalins. This action increases enkephalin levels, which help reduce water and electrolyte secretion into the gut, making stools less watery and helping control diarrhoea. Saccharomyces boulardii helps restore the balance of good bacteria in the gut, which may have been disrupted due to infections or antibiotics. Zinc helps absorb more fluid from the gut, promotes gut lining repair, reduces inflammation, improves immune function, and clears harmful organisms that cause diarrhoea.
