About Rcb-Z Sachet 20x1 gm
Rcb-Z Sachet 20x1 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.
Rcb-Z Sachet 20x1 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.
You are advised to take Rcb-Z Sachet 20x1 gm as long as your doctor has prescribed, based on your medical condition. In some cases, Rcb-Z Sachet 20x1 gm may cause common side effects, such as headache, skin redness, itching, swelling, flatulence (gas), bloating, constipation, nausea, vomiting, and stomach upset. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to consult your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.
Before taking Rcb-Z Sachet 20x1 gm, inform your doctor if you are allergic to any of its ingredients.
