About Lee Dott Sachet 1 gm

Lee Dott Sachet 1 gm belongs to a group of medications called 'antidiarrheal' used to treat symptoms of acute (short-term) diarrhoea in infants and children over 3 months of age. Acute diarrhoea occurs suddenly and lasts for a short while.

Lee Dott Sachet 1 gm contains 'Racecadotril', a prodrug (inactive form) that gets converted into 'thiorphan' (active form), which reduces the watery secretions produced by the intestine. It helps in decreasing the loss of fluid from the body, thus reducing the symptoms of diarrhoea and the risk of dehydration.

In some cases, Lee Dott Sachet 1 gm may cause side effects such as inflammation of the tonsils, rash and erythema (skin redness). You are advised to talk to the doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.
