• Itching of the vagina and surrounding area (the vulva)
• Redness and swelling of the tissues of the vagina and vulva
• Soreness of the vagina and vulva
• White non-smelling discharge from the vagina

Thrush may be aggravated by sexual intercourse, but it is not a sexually transmitted disease. However, sometimes thrush can be passed to your partner through sexual intercourse.

• Soreness and redness of the penis
• Tightness of the foreskin
• A white non-smelling penile discharge

What is Loperamide Hydrochloride, and when is it used?

Loperamide is a medicine to treat Diarrhoea (runny poo). It can also help with short term diarrhoea or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Loperamide is also used for long-lasting Diarrhoea from bowel problems such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis and short bowel syndrome. If you have a colostomy to give you a stoma (an opening in your stomach to collect poo from your body), Loperamide can help to slow down your bowel and make your poo thicker.

Key facts of Loperamide 

• Diarrhoea which starts suddenly usually gets better on its own within 5 to 7 days. If you need immediate, short term relief, taking Loperamide can cut down the number of times you go to the toilet, and it makes your poo less watery.
• Adults should take 2 tablets or capsules straight away if they suffer from short term diarrhoea. After this take 1 each time you do a runny poo.
• Don't exceed the recommended amount. Exceeding the recommended amount can lead to serious heart problems (including a fast or irregular heartbeat).

How will it treat my symptoms?

Loperamide works by slowing down the muscle movements in your gut, so an increased amount of water is absorbed from your stools. This leads to your stools becoming firmer, and they're passed less frequently.

What causes Diarrhoea?

Diarrhoea is usually caused by a bowel infection known as gastroenteritis. Other known causes are:

• Alcohol
• Appendicitis
• Food allergy

If you are taking any other medicine currently, check the side effects to make sure that they do not cause Diarrhoea. Chronic or long-term Diarrhoea can be a symptom of a more severe condition, such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).

What is EllaOne Emergency Contraception

ellaOne is an emergency contraceptive

ellaOne is a contraceptive intended to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or if your contraceptive method has failed. For example:

• if you had sex without protection;
• if your or your partner’s condom tore, slipped or came off, or if you forgot to use one;
• if you did not take your contraceptive pill as recommended.

You should take the tablet as soon as possible after sex and within a maximum of 5 days (120 hours). This is because it is more effective if you take it as soon as possible after unprotected sex.

This medicine is suitable for any woman of childbearing age, including adolescents.

You can take the tablet at any time during the menstrual cycle.

ellaOne does not work if you are already pregnant.

If your menstrual period is late, there is a possibility that you may be pregnant. When your period is late or when you have pregnancy symptoms (heavy breasts, morning sickness), you should consult a doctor or other healthcare professional before taking the tablet.

If you have unprotected sex after taking the tablet, it will not stop you from becoming pregnant. Unprotected sex at any time during your cycle can lead to pregnancy.

ellaOne is not to be used for regular contraception

If you do not have a regular method of contraception, talk to your doctor or healthcare professional to choose one that is suitable for you.

How ellaOne works

ellaOne contains the substance ulipristal acetate, which acts by modifying the activity of the natural hormone progesterone, which is necessary for ovulation to occur. As a result, this medicine works by postponing ovulation. Emergency contraception is not effective in every case. Of 100 women who take this medicine, approximately 2 will become pregnant.

This medicine is a contraceptive used to prevent a pregnancy from starting. If you are already pregnant, it will not interrupt an existing pregnancy.

Emergency contraception does not protect against sexually transmitted infections.

Only condoms can protect you from sexually transmitted infections. This medicine will not protect you against HIV infection or other sexually transmitted diseases (e.g. chlamydia, genital herpes, genital warts, gonorrhoea, hepatitis B and syphilis). Ask a healthcare professional for advice if you are worried about this.

How to take EllaOne Emergency Contraception

• Take one tablet by mouth as soon as possible and no later than 5 days (120 hours) after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. Take the tablet without delay.
• You can take the tablet at any time in your cycle.
• You can take the tablet at any time of the day, either before, during or after a meal.
• If you are using one of the medicines that may prevent ellaOne from working properly (see section 2 “What you need to know before you take ellaOne”) or if you have used one of these medicines in the past 4 weeks, ellaOne may work less effectively for you. Speak to your doctor or pharmacist before using ellaOne. Your doctor may prescribe another type of (non-hormonal) emergency contraceptive, i.e. a Cu-IUD.

If you vomit after taking ellaOne

If you vomit (be sick, throw up) within 3 hours of taking the tablet, take another tablet as soon as possible.

If you have sex again after taking ellaOne

If you have unprotected sex after taking the tablet, it will not stop you from becoming pregnant. After you take the tablet and until your next period comes, you should use condoms every time you have sex.

If your next period is late after taking ellaOne

After taking the tablet, it is normal for your next period to be a few days late.

However, if your period is more than 7 days late, if it is unusually light or cumbersome, or if you experience symptoms such as abdominal (stomach) pain, breast tenderness, vomiting or nausea, you may be pregnant. You should do a pregnancy test right away. If you are pregnant, you must see your doctor. (See section “Pregnancy, breast-feeding and fertility”)

If you take more ellaOne than you should

There have been no reports of harmful effects from taking a higher dose than recommended of this medicine. However, do ask your pharmacist, doctor or other healthcare professional for advice. If you have any further questions on using this medicine, ask your pharmacist, doctor or other healthcare professional.

What are Kwells Travel Sickness Tablets?

Kwells 300 microgram tablets are used for the fast and effective prevention and control of travel sickness. Travel sickness happens when the brain receives mixed messages. Visual messages from the eyes info form the brain that the immediate surroundings are stationary, but a delicate balancing organ in the ear tells the brain that you are moving.

The active substance in Kwells tablets is hyoscine hydrobromide. Hyoscine hydrobromide temporarily reduces the effect of movement on the balance organs of the inner ear and the nerves responsible for nausea.

Because Kwells tablets melt in the mouth, absorption into the bloodstream is very rapid and they can be taken up to 20–30 minutes before re travelling or at the onset of sickness.

How to help avoid travel sickness

• Sit with the head tilted back to stabilise the balancing mechanism in the ear. 
• Ensure the vehicle you are in is well ventilated.     
• Try to have a clear view of the window.
• Have a bite to eat before the journey to help keep the stomach settled, but avoid greasy food.

Piles (haemorrhoids) are swollen blood vessels which occur inside or outside the back passage (anus).

Some people have piles without experiencing any symptoms, but sufferers may notice the following:

• Bleeding: Although streaks of bright red blood on the toilet paper are not uncommon in people with piles, it may be a sign of a more serious condition and you should see your doctor to check this.
• Swelling: The swollen blood vessels may be felt as a lump or blockage in the anus.
• Pain, itching and irritation in the anal region.

At least 40% of people suffer from piles at some time in their lives. However, many people are too embarrassed to seek advice or treatment and, as a result, experience unnecessary discomfort.

Fortunately, there is much you can do to ease the situation and relieve the symptoms.

What causes piles?

Several factors can contribute to the development of piles:

• The most common cause is straining during a bowel movement, usually because of constipation.
• During pregnancy, the growing baby exerts increased pressure on the anal vessels, which can lead to piles.
• Heredity: you may be more likely to develop piles if your family has a history of suffering.

A Healthy Living Plan for Piles Sufferers

You can reduce the risk of piles by following a healthy diet and lifestyle that helps to keep your bowels working regularly and prevents constipation. This can also help to speed recovery from piles.

• Eat a high fibre diet including foods like brown rice, wholemeal bread, wholewheat pasta etc.
• Eat plenty of fresh fruit, vegetables, and salads.
• Drink plenty of water.
• Don't eat too much salty, fatty, or sugary foods such as crisps, burgers, and cakes.
• Cut back on the amount of alcohol, tea, and coffee you drink.
• Exercise regularly.

A healthy diet and lifestyle will reduce the likelihood of constipation and encourage a regular bowel habit. Go to the toilet regularly and try to avoid straining. Leaning forward from the hips may help.

What are Enterosgel Oral Adsorbent Sachets

Enterosgel is based on an organic mineral with adsorption capacity towards toxic and harmful substances in the gut, physically binding them to its surface, reducing stool frequency and duration of diarrhoea.

Enterosgel is expelled from the body with the stool, along with the adsorbed toxins, which can be beneficial for treating acute diarrhoea and diarrhoea predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D). Enterosgel does not remove any good bacteria from the gut.

• Safe and gentle IBS-D treatment
• Drug-free IBS-D and Acute Diarrhoea relief
• Suitable for adults and children aged 1+
• Free from sugar, gluten and preservatives
• Suitable for vegans and vegetarians
• Helping diarrhoea sufferers for over 30 years

What Makes Enterosgel Different?

Enterosgel is different from other IBS-D and Acute Diarrhoea treatments. It targets the cause of the gastrointestinal symptoms by binding the bacterial toxins and other harmful substances and expelling them from the body via the stool.

The majority of products designed to treat IBS and diarrhoea are antimotility or antispasmodic medicines. They work by slowing the natural movements of the gut by relaxing the muscles in the stomach and intestines. Unlike Enterosgel, these medicines do not clear the body of the bacterial toxins and other substances that can cause IBS and diarrhoea.

How to take Enterosgel Oral Adsorbent Sachets

Enterosgel must be taken 2 hours before or after a meal or taking oral medication and needs to be diluted with water and taken orally.

For Acute Diarrhoea, the recommended duration of treatment is 3-5 days.

For chronic IBS-D, the recommended duration of a treatment course is up to 21 days followed by a short break.

The capsules contain loperamide hydrochloride, a substance that helps reduce diarrhoea by slowing down an overactive bowel. This allows water and salts that are usually lost in diarrhoea to be absorbed by the body.

What causes diarrhoea?

The most frequent causes of short term diarrhoea are gut bugs and food poisoning, each of which will usually clear themselves up in seven days. But, you might even experience diarrhoea in case you've got long-term conditions such as food allergies or intolerance, IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), or coeliac disease.

How can Loperamide 2mg cure my diarrhoea?

The 2mg of Loperamide in each Imodium Classic Capsule helps you to deal with diarrhoea by slowing your overactive gut. This lowers the number of times you'll have to visit the bathroom and provides your body with the opportunity to consume the water and additives which are typically lost when you have diarrhoea.

How to take Imodium Capsules

To begin your therapy, consume two Imodium Capsules with a drink of water, then take another capsule after each loose bowel movement. Don't take more than six capsules in any 24 hours. Don't forget to drink more fluids than usual to replace the fluid that your body loses when you've got diarrhoea.

How long to take Loperamide 2mg for?

If you're treating short term diarrhoea, then you shouldn't take Imodium Loperamide Capsules for over two days. If your diarrhoea lasts more than this, cease use and talk to your physician. If you're treating diarrhoea brought on by IBS, then you can take this medication for as much as two weeks at a time to deal with repeated attacks. But, you shouldn't take this product to take care of any attack that lasts more than two days. Speak with your health care provider if your diarrhoea lasts for over 48 hours or if your symptoms haven't improved after two weeks.
