Medicinal Benefits:
Podot Paediatric Suspension belongs to a group of medications called 'antidiarrheal' used to treat symptoms of acute (short-term) diarrhoea in infants and children over 3 months of age. Podot Paediatric Suspension contains 'Racecadotril', a prodrug (inactive form) that gets converted into 'thiorphan' (active form) which reduces the watery secretions produced by the intestine. It helps in decreasing the loss of fluid from the body, thus reducing the symptoms of diarrhoea and the risk of dehydration.

Your doctor will determine the dose and duration of Podot Paediatric Suspension based on the child's condition, not exceeding 7 days. Consult the doctor if diarrhoea persists for more than 7 days.
To compensate for the fluid loss due to your child's diarrhoea, Podot Paediatric Suspension should be given along with adequate replacement of fluid and electrolytes/salts such as ORS (oral rehydration solution). However, consult your doctor if you have any concerns.
