Cado Suspension 60 ml

Cado Suspension used in the treatment of diarrhoea. The detailed uses of Cado Suspension are as follows:

• Diarrhoea: Cado Suspension is commonly prescribed to treat acute diarrhoea in infants and children, providing symptomatic relief.
• Rehydration: Cado Suspension helps in rehydration by reducing the frequency and amount of stool output, thereby minimising the loss of water and essential salts (electrolytes) from the body. This helps maintain fluid balance and supports the body's natural hydration processes.
• Reduction of Gastrointestinal Secretions: Cado Suspension works by decreasing water and electrolyte secretion in the intestines, aiding in controlling diarrhoea.

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.

• Cado Suspension can be administered with or without food as directed by the doctor.
• Follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication to ensure safety.
• Administer the prescribed dose to the child using the measuring cup/dosing syringe.
• Shake well before use.

• Give the child plenty of fluids to stay hydrated.
• To avoid aggravating the digestive system, include bland foods such as bananas, rice, apples, cream of wheat, soda crackers, farina, applesauce, and toast.
• Avoid giving the child spicy foods, such as caffeinated and carbonated drinks.
• Include fibre-rich food such as whole grains, lentils, beans, broccoli, and peas.
