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 Enterosgel Intestinal Toxin Binding Adsorbent Gel

Enterosgel is easy to take, diluted in water, it has no taste or colour. This is the right package for a course of prophylactic detoxification to treat viral or bacterial diarrhoea.

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.

What is Enterosgel Intestinal Toxin Binding Adsorbent Gel

Enterosgel is easy to take, diluted in water, it has no taste or colour. This is the right package for a course of prophylactic detoxification to treat viral or bacterial diarrhoea.

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.

Most 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 use Enterosgel Intestinal Toxin Binding Adsorbent Gel

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.
