Medicine overview

Indications of Radola 100 mg

Radola 100 mg is indicated for the symptomatic treatment of acute diarrhea.

Theropeutic Class

Anti-diarrhoeal

Pharmacology

Radola 100 mg increases the availability of endogenous opioids (enkephalins) by inhibiting the membrane-bound enkephalinase. The enkephalins in turn mediate their effect through δ receptor ( delta opioid receptor) activation that induces a selective increase in Cl absorption by inhibiting adenylate cyclase.Onset: 30 min (plasma enkephalinase inhibition).
