Introduction
Enuff Extra Sachet is a combination medicine used to alleviate the symptoms of acute diarrhea in infants and children. It works by reducing the amount of water and salts lost in stools, which helps in managing diarrhea effectively. This medicine is typically administered when fluids and dietary measures fail to control the symptoms. It is important to use this medicine in conjunction with an oral rehydration solution (ORS) to ensure adequate fluid and electrolyte replacement. Enuff Extra Sachet is not recommended for use in children under 3 months of age or in cases where there is blood and pus in the stools or fever, as these may indicate a bacterial infection requiring different treatment.
Directions for Use
Enuff Extra Sachet should be used together with an oral rehydration solution (ORS) to provide adequate fluid and electrolyte replacement. Give your child plenty of fluids to replenish water and mineral loss. Do not use Enuff Extra Sachet if your child has blood and pus in the stools or fever. Do not give Enuff Extra Sachet if your child has persistent uncontrolled vomiting or is less than 3 months of age.
How it works
Enuff Extra Sachet contains three active ingredients: Racecadotril, Saccharomyces boulardii, and Lactobacillus. Racecadotril has an anti-secretory effect, reducing the secretion of water and electrolytes from the intestine, which helps to replenish the fluids lost from the body due to diarrhea. Saccharomyces boulardii and Lactobacillus are probiotics that promote the growth of good bacteria in the gut, improving gut health and preventing intestinal infections.
Quick Tips
Use together with an oral rehydration solution (ORS) for adequate fluid and electrolyte replacement. Give your child plenty of fluids to replenish water and mineral loss. Do not use if your child has blood and pus in the stools or fever. Not recommended for use more than 7 days unless advised otherwise. Do not mix with any other herbal or ayurvedic medicine. Do not give if your child has persistent uncontrolled vomiting. Do not give if your child is less than 3 months of age.

Frequently asked questions
How long does Enuff Extra Sachet take to work?
Treatment with Enuff Extra Sachet should be continued until two normal stools are passed. If diarrhea does not improve after seven days of treatment, you must contact your doctor.

My child is one year old and has a neurological disorder. Is it safe to give Enuff Extra Sachet?
Usually, Enuff Extra Sachet does not enter the central nervous system and lacks the potential for serious side effects like neurotoxicity. However, since children under 2 have underdeveloped membranes, there is a potential for the medicine to enter the brain and cause side effects. Consult your child's doctor before giving Enuff Extra Sachet in this condition.
My child is passing watery stools mixed with blood and has fever. Is Enuff Extra Sachet the right choice of treatment?
No, do not give Enuff Extra Sachet if your child is experiencing bloody stools or pus alongside having a high body temperature (fever). These symptoms indicate possible underlying pathology (infection) that may require different types of treatment.
My child has long-term (chronic) diarrhea. Can I give Enuff Extra Sachet?
The use of Enuff Extra Sachet in chronic diarrhea has not been adequately studied. Therefore, it is best to consult your child's doctor before giving this medicine to your child for long-term diarrhea.
What other medicines should my child avoid while taking Enuff Extra Sachet?
Although Enuff Extra Sachet has not been known to interact with other medications, you should inform the doctor if your child is taking any medication. It is best to share a complete medical history of your child, as this will help the doctor understand their specific needs better.
