DAIGON Tablet (Racecadotril 100 mg) is a non-antibiotic antidiarrheal used to treat acute diarrhea in adults and children, typically alongside rehydration therapy.
Uses / Indications
-
Acute diarrhea: Rapid symptom control for sudden-onset (acute) non-bloody diarrhea in adults and children over 3 months old.
-
Adjunct to rehydration: Should always be given with oral rehydration solution (ORS) to maintain fluid and electrolyte balance.
How it Works / Key Benefits
-
Mechanism: Racecadotril is an “enkephalinase inhibitor” with anti-secretory effects, reducing excessive water and electrolyte loss from the intestines.
-
Does NOT slow gut motility: Unlike other antidiarrheals (like loperamide), racecadotril does not paralyze intestinal movements, lowering the risk of constipation or secondary infection.
-
Leads to quicker recovery from acute diarrhea, less fluid loss, and a shorter illness in most cases.
Dosage & Administration
-
Taken by mouth, dose and duration as prescribed by the physician. Should not be used for more than 7 days without reassessment.
-
Start as soon as diarrhea develops. Continue until two normal stools are passed, then stop (unless doctor advises otherwise).
-
Use in children: NOT for those under 3 months, those with diarrhea with pus/blood or fever, or in chronic/antibiotic-associated diarrhea.
Safety & Side Effects
-
Common: Vomiting, headache, dizziness, mild discomfort.
-
Rare/allergic: Rash, itching, angioedema, urticaria—discontinue if allergic reactions occur.
-
Avoid in patients with untreated kidney or liver disease, persistent vomiting, bloody stools, or severe dehydration.
Note:
DAIGON is for short-term management of acute watery diarrhea only—never a substitute for adequate fluid intake or ORS. Do not self-medicate for more than 7 days; consult a doctor for young children, elderly, or if blood/pus/fever is present in stools.
DAILYGLIM M1 Tablet is a dual oral antidiabetic designed to control blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes who do not achieve adequate control with diet, exercise, or single-agent therapy alone.
Uses / Indications
-
Type 2 diabetes mellitus: For adults to control blood glucose when monotherapy (either glimepiride or metformin alone) is insufficient.
-
Reduces the risk of long-term complications of diabetes—kidney, nerve, eye, and cardiovascular issues—with regular and sustained blood sugar control.
How it Works / Key Benefits
-
Glimepiride: Stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin, lowers blood sugar.
-
Metformin (PR): Decreases liver glucose production, reduces intestinal glucose absorption, and improves insulin sensitivity throughout the body.
-
The combination offers better blood sugar control than either medicine alone, with a lower risk of hypoglycemia than many traditional sulfonylureas.
Dosage & Administration
-
Typically, one tablet once daily with breakfast or the first major meal.
-
Swallow whole with water—do not break, crush, or chew.
-
Do not skip meals and continue regular blood sugar monitoring.
-
Never double the dose if a tablet is missed. Take the next dose at its regular time.
Safety & Side Effects
-
Common: Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia—shakiness, sweating, confusion), nausea, headache, mild GI upset, taste change, modest weight gain.
-
Rare/serious: Lactic acidosis (seek urgent care if rapid breathing, persistent vomiting), allergic reaction, anemia, liver dysfunction.
-
Not suitable for type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, severe kidney/liver dysfunction, or during metabolic acidosis.
-
Regular blood, kidney, and liver function monitoring is recommended during therapy.
-
Alcohol increases the risk of hypoglycemia and should be avoided.
Note:
DAILYGLIM M1 is part of a long-term diabetes plan—continue healthy diet/exercise and follow your doctor’s instructions for best results and safety.
