Hidrasec Children 30mg Sachets 16's

Hidrasec is a medicine for the treatment of diarrhoea. Hidrasec is used for the treatment of symptoms of acute diarrhoea in children over three months of age. It should be used together with an abundant liquid intake and the usual dietary measures, when these measures are not sufficiently effective on their own to control the diarrhoea, and when diarrhoea can not be treated causally. Racecadotril can be administered as a complementary treatment when causal treatment is possible. The recommended daily dose depends on your child’s weight: 1.5 mg/kg per dose (corresponding to 1 to 2 sachets), three times daily at regular intervals. In children weighing from 13 to27 kg: one sachet per dose. In children of approximate weight more than 27 kg: two sachets per dose. Your doctor will tell you how long the treatment with Hidrasec will last. It should be continued until your child has two normal stools, not exceeding 7 days. To compensate for the loss of liquid due to your child’s diarrhoea, this medicinal product should be used together with an adequate replacement of fluid and salts (electrolytes). The best replacement of fluid and salts is achieved with a so-called oral rehydration solution (please ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure).
