Racecadotril Granules

Function and Efficacy

Racecadotril is an enkephalinase inhibitor. Enkephalinase can degrade enkephalins. This product can selectively and reversibly inhibit enkephalinase, thereby protecting endogenous enkephalins from degradation, prolonging the physiological activity of endogenous enkephalins in the digestive tract, and reducing excessive secretion of water and electrolytes. Oral racecadotril acts on peripheral enkephalinase, does not affect the enkephalinase activity of the central nervous system, and has no significant effect on gastrointestinal motility and intestinal basal secretion.
