Lee Dott Capsule 10 contains the following component:

• Racecadotril (100 mg): It is an anti-secretory enkephalinase inhibitor that works by selective inhibition of the endopeptidase enzyme. This enzyme is found in the cell membranes of the small intestine region of the gastrointestinal tract. This medicine has an antisecretory effect as it reduces the secretion of water and electrolytes from the intestine which will help restore the fluids lost due to diarrhoea.

• When managing acute diarrhoea with this medicine, staying hydrated is essential. Make sure you or your child drinks plenty of fluids like water, herbal teas, or rehydration solutions to restore lost electrolytes.
• During episodes of diarrhoea, choose a bland diet. Include foods like rice, toast, bananas, and applesauce, as these are gentle on the stomach and can help firm up stools.
• Children should be given easy-to-digest foods, and foods that aggravate diarrhoea, such as spicy foods, should be avoided.
