Econorm Sachet

Prescription for: Personal Health

Manufactured by Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Ltd. Econorm Sachet is a medicine in powder form that contains Saccharomyces boulardii as a main ingredient. Econorm oral powder is used to treat diarrhoea in children and adults caused by infections and also used to prevent diarrhoea caused by antibiotics. 

The body of a healthy child consists of microbes both good and bad. The good microbes are known as probiotics and play an important part in the digestive and metabolic function of the child, in turn improving immunity. The main cause of the gastrointestinal disease is due to an inadequate percentage of probiotics in the body. Due to this, children are more susceptible to bacterial and viral infections that lead to digestive issues, loose motions, nausea, weakness and vomiting. 

Econorm oral powder helps in normalizing the digestive process in turn boosting immunity. The probiotic functions to restore the healthy balance of microbes in the stomach by reducing the excessive production of electrolytes and water in the gut.  Econorm sachet can be consumed directly or mixing it with a liquid or food of choice. Additionally, read our medical guide on how to stop loose motions for more information on treating diarrhoea related symptoms in adults.
