Frequently asked questions
How long does Racipro S Sachet take to work?
Treatment with Racipro S Sachet should be continued until two normal stools are passed. However, if diarrhea does not get better after seven days of treatment you must talk to the doctor. Make sure neither to extend nor to stop the treatment by yourself without consulting your child’s doctor. Doing so may have side effects or may lead to a recurrence of symptoms.
My child is one year old and is suffering from a neurological disorder. Is it safe to give Racipro S Sachet?
Racipro S Sachet typically does not enter the central nervous system and lacks the potential for serious side effects such as neurotoxicity. However, children under the age of 2 have underdeveloped membranes, so there is a possibility that the medicine could pass into the brain causing side effects. Therefore, it’s crucial to consult your child’s doctor before giving Racipro S Sachet in such a condition.
My child is passing watery stools mixed with blood and is also suffering from fever. Is Racipro S Sachet the right choice of treatment?
No, do not give Racipro S Sachet if your child is experiencing bloody or pus-filled stools along with a high body temperature (fever). These symptoms indicate the presence of an underlying infection and may require alternative treatments.
My child is suffering from long-term (chronic) diarrhea. Can I give Racipro S Sachet?
The use of Racipro S Sachet in chronic diarrhea has not been thoroughly studied. Therefore, it's best to consult your child’s doctor before administering this medication for long-term diarrhea.
What other medicines should my child avoid while taking Racipro S Sachet?
Although Racipro S Sachet is not known to cause interactions with other medications, it's important to inform the doctor if your child is taking any other medication. Providing a complete medical history of your child will help the doctor understand their needs better.
