Article Synopsis
- Diarrheal disease is the second leading cause of death in children under 5, with rotavirus being the primary cause of acute watery diarrhea globally.
- A study was conducted on gnotobiotic pigs to evaluate the effectiveness of racecadotril, an antisecretory drug, compared to chlorpromazine and a mock treatment.
- Pigs treated with racecadotril showed improved symptoms, including less severe illness, lower fecal consistency scores, shorter diarrhea duration, and weight gain, indicating its potential as a treatment for rotaviral diarrhea.
