About Racecadotril A peripherally acting Enkephalinase inhibitor Antidiarrheal. Mechanism of Action of Racecadotril Racecadotril is a dipeptide. It is an Enkephalinase inhibitor which prevents the degradation of Enkephalins. Enkephalins are endogenous opioid which act on delta opioid receptor and reduces the cyclic AMP level and produces antidiarrhoeal effect. Thus the increased concentration of Enkephalins reduces the hyper secretions of water and electrolyte in to the intestinal lumen. Racecadotril reduces the incidence of diarrhoea and diarrhoea associated symptoms. Indications for Racecadotril 1.
