AD 100 Capsule contains racecadotril as its active ingredient.

• Racecadotril inhibits the enzyme enkephalinase.
• This inhibition increases the concentration of enkephalins in the intestine.
• The increased concentration of enkephalins reduces the secretion of water and electrolytes into the intestine.
• As a result, there is a decrease in fluid loss.
• By reducing fluid loss, it helps manage these conditions effectively.
• The mechanism of action involves regulating water and electrolyte balance in the intestine.
• This helps restore normal bowel function and alleviate symptoms.
• The active ingredient works locally in the intestines without affecting other parts of the body.
• It does not interfere with rehydration therapy, which is essential for managing diarrhoea.
• The precise chemical or physiological processes involved are related to enkephalin metabolism and fluid regulation in the intestine.
