Loo Chek Suspension

Loo Chek Suspension belongs to a group of medications called 'antidiarrheal', used to treat acute (short-term) diarrhoea in infants and children over 3 months of age. Acute diarrhoea occurs suddenly and lasts for a short while.

Loo Chek Suspension contains 'Racecadotril', a prodrug (inactive form) that gets converted into 'thiorphan' (active form). This 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.

In some cases, Loo Chek Suspension may cause side effects such as inflammation of the tonsils, rash, and erythema (skin redness). If the side effects persist or worsen, you are advised to talk to the doctor.

Let the doctor know if your child is allergic to any of the components in Loo Chek Suspension. Keep the doctor informed about your child's health condition and medications to rule out any side effects/interactions.
