Drug Mode of Action ::  

Racecadotril increases the availability of endogenous opioids (enkephalins) by inhibiting the membrane-bound enkephalinase. These enkephalins activate ?-opioid receptors in the GI tract. This leads to a reduction in cAMP mucosal levels, resulting in a reducted secretion of water and electrolytes in the intestinal lumen.

Drug Interactions ::

No interactions with other drugs have been described in humans to date. In humans, the concomitant treatment of Hidrasec with loperamide or nifuroxazide does not modify the kinetics of Hidrasec. Incompatibilities: Not applicable.
