How AD-30 DT Tablet Works

AD-30 DT Tablet contains racecadotril, an anti-diarrhoeal medicine. After administration, it is converted into an active substance that blocks an enzyme responsible for breaking down natural chemicals called enkephalins. This allows enkephalins to remain active for longer, reducing the excessive secretion of water and electrolytes into the intestines. As a result, stools become less watery while the normal movement of the digestive tract remains unchanged, allowing the body to naturally clear the cause of diarrhoea.
