Medicinal Benefits:
Cado Suspension belongs to a group of medications called 'antidiarrheal' used to treat acute (short-term) diarrhoea symptoms in infants and children over 3 months of age. Cado 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 decrease the loss of fluid from the body, thus reducing the symptoms of diarrhoea and the risk of dehydration.
