ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the curative effect of racecadotril granules on acute rotaviral enteritis in infants. Methods 100 infants with acute rotaviral enteritis were divided into combined treatment group(group A50)cases and smecta group(B group50 cases) ;Group B was given to basis of conventional therapy,but Group A received conventional therapy combined with clothing racecadotril particles. The efficacy and adverse reactions were observed.Results The time of improvement of vomiting,fever and diarrhea in A group was significantly shorter than the B group(t =2. 245,2. 298,2. 301, all P ＜ 0.05); The total effective rate 92. 0% in A group were higher than the B group 74. 0% after treatment 3d(x~2 = 3.987, P ＜ 0.05). The average course of treatment in A group (5.5 ± 0. 9) d was lower than the B group(7. 0 ± 1.1)d(t =7.17,P＜0.01). Conclusion Racecadotril is an effective and safe drug in treating rotaviral enteritis in infants.
