Ralop Suspension 30ml

Ralop Suspension is used to manage acute diarrhoea in infants and children, including frequent loose bowel movements. It helps prevent the recurrence of watery diarrhoea and provides symptomatic relief from rotavirus-induced diarrhoea. This suspension aids in recovery from infections, promoting faster healing and relief from gastrointestinal discomfort.

• Use the provided measuring cup to gauge the correct dose of the suspension.
• Keep the bottle tightly sealed after use.
• This medicine is sugar-based and requires caution for use in diabetic children. If your child has diabetes, consult your doctor before giving them this medicine.
• Always shake the bottle well before giving your child a dose.
• Ensure to consult your doctor for specific advice on administering this medication.

Ralop Suspension is given orally.

Ralop Suspension contains racecadotril (15 mg), which acts on your child's body as follows:

• Enkephalinase Inhibition: Racecadotril works by inhibiting an enzyme called enkephalinase in your child's gut. This enzyme normally breaks down certain endogenous opioid peptides known as enkephalins.
• Enhanced Enkephalin Activity: Racecadotril blocks enkephalinase and increases the activity of enkephalins on δ-opioid receptors in the gut.
• Reduced Intestinal Fluid Secretion: The elevated enkephalin activity leads to less water and electrolytes being secreted into the intestinal lumen. This helps manage diarrhoea without affecting gut motility or promoting bacterial overgrowth.

• Store Ralop Suspension in a cool, dry place.
• Keep it away from direct sunlight and moisture.
• Ensure the bottle is tightly capped to prevent air exposure.
• Always keep this medicine out of reach of children.

• Since Ralop Suspension is used to manage acute diarrhoea in children, it is crucial that your child stays hydrated. Encourage them to drink plenty of clear fluids like water or oral rehydration solutions alongside using the syrup.
• A bland diet can help ease diarrhoea symptoms. Offer your child simple foods like rice, banana or toast until their condition improves. Remember to consult your doctor for any specific dietary needs your child might have.
