R Tril 100mg Capsule

Introduction

R Tril is a prescription medication that contains the active ingredient Racecadotril. It is available in capsule form and is commonly used in the treatment of certain gastrointestinal conditions.

Uses

R Tril is prescribed for the management of acute diarrhea in adults. It works by reducing the amount of fluid and electrolytes lost during episodes of diarrhea, helping to restore the balance in the digestive system.

Dosage and Administration

The recommended dosage of R Tril is one capsule taken three times a day, with or without food. Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional. If you have any questions or concerns about the dosage or administration, please consult your doctor or pharmacist.

Mechanism of Action

R Tril contains Racecadotril, which acts by inhibiting the enzyme responsible for the breakdown of certain substances in the intestine. By doing so, it helps to reduce the fluid and electrolyte loss associated with diarrhea, allowing the body to regain its normal balance.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include mild gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, stomach pain, or bloating. These side effects are usually temporary and should subside on their own. However, if any side effects persist or worsen, seek medical attention.

In rare cases, serious allergic reactions to R Tril may occur. If you experience symptoms such as rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, or difficulty breathing, seek immediate medical attention.

Drug Interactions

inform your healthcare professional about all the medications you are currently taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and herbal supplements. Certain medications may interact with R Tril, potentially affecting its effectiveness or increasing the risk of side effects. It is particularly important to avoid combining R Tril with medications that have a similar mechanism of action or that may cause fluid and electrolyte imbalances.

Precautions

Before taking R Tril, inform your doctor or pharmacist if you have any allergies, medical conditions, or are currently taking any other medications. This will help ensure that R Tril is safe and appropriate for you.

R Tril is contraindicated in individuals with a known hypersensitivity to Racecadotril or any other components of the medication. It should not be used in children under the age of 18 years.
