Raci-Gut Peadiatric Suspension 60 ml

Raci-Gut Peadiatric Suspension 60 ml is used to treat symptoms of acute (short-term) diarrhoea in adults and infants greater than 3 months of age. Raci-Gut Peadiatric Suspension 60 ml can be administered as a complementary treatment when acute diarrhoea cannot be treated casually. Acute diarrhoea occurs when there is a sudden onset of 3 or more loose/watery stools per day for at least 14 days.

Thus, Raci-Gut Peadiatric Suspension 60 ml exerts rapid antidiarrheal action, without changing the duration of intestinal transit (bowel transit time or time of food travel in the digestive tract).
