Product introduction
Enuff Capsule contains racecadotril, an anti-diarrheal medicine prescribed for acute diarrhea when oral rehydration and dietary changes alone are not enough to control fluid loss. Unlike medicines that simply slow the gut down, it works by reducing excess secretion of fluid and electrolytes into the intestine, helping restore normal bowel function without stopping natural gut movement. It is generally used as a short-term measure alongside rehydration solutions until symptoms settle. Because diarrhea can have many causes, it should be used only as directed by a doctor.
Storage: Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture, and keep out of reach of children.
