Summary

This study tested whether adding racecadotril to standard rehydration therapy helps children aged 3 months to 5 years with acute watery diarrhea. 200 hospitalized children received either racecadotril or a placebo alongside standard care. The goal was to see if the drug reduces stool frequency, improves stool consistency, and shortens hospital stays.
