Enuff Capsule is used to treat symptoms of acute (short-term) diarrhoea in adults and infants greater than 3 months of age. It can be administered as a complementary treatment when acute diarrhoea cannot be treated casually. It contains Racecadotril, which helps in decreasing the intestinal hypersecretion (losing) of electrolytes and water induced by the cholera toxin or inflammation. Thus, it exerts rapid antidiarrheal action, without changing the duration of intestinal transit (bowel transit time or time of food travel in the digestive tract). In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as headache, rash and skin redness. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.

About Enuff Capsule

Enuff Capsule is used to treat symptoms of acute (short-term) diarrhoea in adults and infants greater than 3 months of age. Enuff Capsule can be administered as a complementary treatment when acute diarrhoea cannot be treated casually. Acute diarrhoea occurs when there is a sudden onset of 3 or more loose/watery stools per day for at least 14 days.

Enuff Capsule contains ‘Racecadotril’, which is a prodrug (inactive form) that gets converted into ‘thiorphan’ (active form), which acts on the epithelium tissues of the small intestine. It helps in decreasing the intestinal hypersecretion (losing) of electrolytes and water induced by the cholera toxin or inflammation. Thus, Enuff Capsule exerts rapid antidiarrheal action, without changing the duration of intestinal transit (bowel transit time or time of food travel in the digestive tract).

Take Enuff Capsule as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Enuff Capsule as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as headache, rash and skin redness. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Talk to your doctor if you have a fever, blood or pus in stools, or are suffering from chronic diarrhoea, diarrhoea caused by antibiotics, kidney or liver problems, or prolonged or uncontrolled vomiting. If your condition does not improve even after taking Enuff Capsule for 7 days, consult your doctor. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Enuff Capsule should not be given to children younger than three months of age. Avoid consuming alcohol along with Enuff Capsule . Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medicines to rule out any side effects.

Uses of Enuff Capsule

Enuff Capsule is used in the treatment of diarrhea. The detailed uses of Enuff Capsule are as follows:
• Treatment of Acute Diarrhea: Enuff Capsule helps manage sudden diarrhea that lasts for less than two weeks by reducing fluid loss from the intestines.
• Supportive Therapy: Enuff Capsule is often used alongside oral rehydration solutions (ORS) to ensure adequate fluid and electrolyte replacement during diarrhea.
• Reduction of Gastrointestinal Secretions: Enuff Capsule works by decreasing water and electrolyte secretion in the intestines, aiding in controlling diarrhea.

Directions for Use

Medicinal Benefits

Enuff Capsule belongs to antidiarrheal medicines called 'oral enkephalinase inhibitors' used to treat symptoms of acute diarrhoea in adults and infants (more than 3 months of age). Enuff Capsule should be used along with dietary measures and abundant liquid intake and administered as a complementary treatment when diarrhoea cannot be treated casually. Enuff Capsule is a pro-drug which breaks down into thiorphan (the active form) and works by decreasing the amount of salts and water secreted into the intestine, thereby making the stools less watery. Thus it helps in controlling the diarrhoea without interrupting change in bowel movement time.

FAQs

Enuff Capsule is used to treat symptoms of acute (short-term) diarrhoea in adults and infants greater than 3 months of age. It can be used as a complementary treatment when acute diarrhoea cannot be treated casually.

Enuff Capsule works by decreasing the amount of salts (electrolytes) and fluids secreted into the intestine, thereby maintaining salt and water balance. Thus, it makes the stools less watery and helps in controlling diarrhoea.

Talk to your doctor if you do not feel better even after taking Enuff Capsule for 7 days. Do not take Enuff Capsule for longer durations unless prescribed by the doctor.

Although Enuff Capsule helps in decreasing the amount of salts and fluids secreted into the intestine, it does not help in rehydration. Enuff Capsule should be taken along with oral rehydration solutions (ORS) to avoid dehydration which occurs due to loss of fluids during diarrhoea.

Acute diarrhoea occurs when there is a watery stool at least 3 times per day for at least 14 days. In contrast, Chronic diarrhoea lasts for more than 2-4 weeks.
