Racecadotril
An antidiarrhoeal first registered in France in 1992: it inhibits intestinal enkephalinase and reduces the loss of water and electrolytes without slowing gut transit. This family brings together the active ingredient, pharmacopoeial impurities, labelled standards, nitrosamines and other impurities.
Did you know?It is a prodrug that the body turns into thiorphan, which protects the enkephalins, the gut's natural opioids; the prefix 'race-' recalls that it is a racemate: its S-enantiomer alone is called ecadotril.
