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.| Q. My child is one year old and is suffering from a neurological disorder. Is it safe to give Enuff Extra Sachet?::: Usually, Enuff Extra Sachet does not enter into the central nervous system and lacks the potential to cause serious side effects such as neurotoxicity. But, since children below the age of 2 have underdeveloped membranes, there could be a chance of the medicine entering the brain and causing side effects. So, consult your child’s doctor before giving Enuff Extra Sachet in such a condition.| Q. My child is passing watery stools mixed with blood and is also suffering from fever. Is Enuff Extra Sachet the right choice of treatment?::: No, do not give Enuff Extra Sachet if your child is passing stools mixed with blood or pus along with having a high body temperature (fever).

How It Works

Enuff Extra Sachet contains three active ingredients: Racecadotril, Saccharomyces boulardii, and Lactobacillus. Racecadotril has an anti-secretory effect. It reduces the secretion of water and electrolytes from the intestine. This helps to replenish the fluids lost from the body due to diarrhea. Saccharomyces boulardii and Lactobacillus are probiotics. Both of them promote the growth of good bacteria in the gut, improving gut health and preventing intestinal infection.
