A key focus of the webinar will be on optimising therapeutic interventions beyond rehydration alone.
Join Pharmacy Magazine in partnership with Abbott for an engaging and clinically relevant a one-hour webinar designed specifically for pharmacists and pharmacy staff, focusing on the effective management of acute diarrhoea in children. This session will equip you with practical, evidence-based strategies to confidently assess, manage, and counsel caregivers in everyday pharmacy practice.
Participants can expect a comprehensive review of the epidemiology and clinical impact of paediatric diarrhoea, alongside a refresher on current treatment guidelines, including the essential role of oral rehydration therapy (ORS). The webinar will also explore common misconceptions and outdated practices, helping pharmacists make informed, patient-centred decisions.
A key focus of the session will be on optimizing therapeutic interventions beyond rehydration alone. We will discuss the role of antisecretory agents, with particular attention to racecadotril, including its mechanism of action, clinical efficacy, safety profile, and place in therapy.
Through practical case scenarios and real-world insights, attendees will gain:
- Confidence in identifying appropriate treatment pathways
- Tools to improve patient outcomes and caregiver satisfaction
- Guidance on when and how to recommend adjunct therapies such as Hidrasec
- Enhanced counselling techniques for managing paediatric cases in pharmacy settings
By the end of the session, pharmacists and pharmacy staff will be better equipped to deliver timely, effective, and evidence-based care for children presenting with diarrhoea — ultimately improving recovery outcomes and reducing complications.
