Overview

Hidrasec 100mg Capsule contains Racecadotril 100mg and is presented as a capsule. It is supplied in a pack size of 10s.

It is classified as a non-prescription medicine, so no prescription is needed to order it. Under Malaysian rules for medicine information, this page carries product, safety and handling information only.

You can consult a doctor or pharmacist online on DoctorOnCall about this product before or after you order. Every order is checked by a registered pharmacist before it is delivered. Always read the label and the leaflet supplied with the pack.

Directions for Use

Hidrasec 100mg Capsule should only be used according to the dose and duration prescribed by your doctor following an online consultation with DoctorOnCall. Capsules are usually swallowed whole with a glass of water and may be taken with or without food. Oral rehydration solution should be used alongside Hidrasec to replace fluids and electrolytes lost through diarrhoea, especially in the presence of vomiting or reduced fluid intake.

Dosage

The typical adult dose of Hidrasec 100mg Capsule is one capsule taken at the onset of diarrhoea, followed by one capsule every 8 hours as needed, in addition to standard oral rehydration measures. Treatment is usually continued only until diarrhoea resolves and should not exceed 7 days without further medical assessment. Always follow the exact dose and duration given on your prescription rather than any general guidance, and do not exceed the prescribed amount.

Shelf Life

Hidrasec 100mg Capsule is generally stable for up to 36 months from the date of manufacture when stored correctly and unopened. Always check the expiry date printed on the blister strip or carton before use, and do not take the capsules if the date has passed.

Storage Instructions

Store Hidrasec 100mg Capsule at room temperature, below 30 degrees Celsius, in a dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the capsules in their original packaging until ready to use, and keep out of reach of children and pets.

Relevant Information

Hidrasec 100mg Capsule is intended to relieve the symptoms of acute diarrhoea rather than treat its underlying cause, so prompt medical evaluation is important if diarrhoea is severe, persistent, accompanied by blood, high fever, or signs of dehydration such as reduced urination, dizziness, or dry mouth. It is generally used as a short adjunct to oral rehydration therapy rather than a long-term treatment. Elderly patients and those with kidney or liver conditions should be assessed carefully by their doctor before starting treatment.
