ENUFF 10MG DT TABLET is used to treat symptoms of acute (short-term) diarrhoea in adults and infants greater than 3 months of age. It can be administered as a complementary treatment when acute diarrhoea cannot be treated casually. It contains Racecadotril, which helps in decreasing the intestinal hypersecretion (losing) of electrolytes and water induced by the cholera toxin or inflammation. Thus, it exerts rapid antidiarrheal action, without changing the duration of intestinal transit (bowel transit time or time of food travel in the digestive tract). In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as headache, rash and skin redness. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.
