Enterosgel Intestinal Toxin Binding Adsorbent Gel - 225g
DiarrhoeaIn stockMore InformationWhat 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.

Canesten Athletes Foot Cream - 30g
Fungal InfectionsIn stockMore InformationWhat is Canesten Athletes Foot Cream?
Canesten Dual Action 1% w/w Cream is used to treat athlete’s foot or jock itch.
The active substance in Canesten Dual Action Cream is clotrimazole. Clotrimazole belongs to a group of medicines called imidazoles and is an antifungal agent which fights the cause of fungal skin infections.
What are fungal infections?
Fungal infections are very common and affect many people. Some of the most common fungal skin infections include athlete’s foot (Tinea pedis) and jock itch (Tinea cruris). They are caused by a contagious fungus which thrives in warm, moist environments. The fungus that causes athlete’s foot usually lives harmlessly on our skin and in our environment. The natural balance that normally keeps it under control can be upset by factors such as damp moist conditions. This could happen, for example, through regularly wearing training shoes that keep the feet hot and sweaty. Since this fungus is contagious, it can also often be picked up in changing rooms.
Tell-tale signs of both athlete’s foot and jock itch are that the skin becomes itchy, red and inflamed. Sporty people or those who work in a warm, damp environment, tend to be more likely to catch these conditions.
How to use Canesten Athletes Foot Cream
- Before use, pierce the tube seal by inverting the cap over the end of the tube and press.
- If the feet are infected, they should be washed and dried thoroughly, especially between the toes, before applying the cream.
- Canesten Dual Action Cream should be applied thinly and evenly to the affected areas two or three times daily and rubbed in gently.
- A strip of cream (1 /2 cm long) is enough to treat an area of about the size of the hand.
- The treatment should be continued for at least one month to prevent re-infection.
The symptoms of skin infection, such as itching or soreness, should improve within a few days of treatment although signs such as redness and scaling may take longer to disappear. If symptoms do not improve within 7 days, consult your doctor.
You can help the treatment to work if you follow these simple self-help tips:
- Although the infected area will itch, try not to scratch. Scratching will damage the surface of the skin and cause the infection to spread further.
- Keep the affected skin areas clean.
- Pay particular attention to drying the skin, but avoid excessive rubbing.
- Do not share towels, bath mats, etc. with other people as you could spread the infection to them.
- Always wash your hands after treating the infection to prevent it from spreading.
If you have athlete’s foot:
- Remember to dry the skin between the toes thoroughly.
- Wash your socks, stockings and tights thoroughly in hot water to remove any shed skin or fungal spores.
- Change your footwear daily if possible
What does Canesten Athletes Foot Cream contain
The active substance is clotrimazole at a strength of 1% w/w.
The other ingredients are benzyl alcohol, polysorbate 60, sorbitan stearate, cetyl palmitate, cetostearyl alcohol, octyldodecanol and purified water.
Imodium Classic (2mg) - 12 Capsules
IBSIn stockMore InformationWhat are Imodium Capsules?
Imodium Classic Capsules is a treatment that can help ease two distinct kinds of diarrhoea. If you are suffering from brief-term diarrhoea or diarrhoea brought on by IBS, this medication can help reduce your symptoms and lessen the number of times you will need to visit the bathroom.
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.

This medicine is used to treat symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and similar problems such as chronic irritable colon, spastic constipation, mucous colitis and spastic colitis.
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a very common condition which causes spasms and pain in the gut or intestine.
The intestine is a long muscular tube which food passes down so it can be digested. You get pain if the intestine goes into spasm and squeezes too tightly. This medicine works by relieving the spasm, pain and other symptoms of IBS.
The main symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) include:
- stomach pain and spasm
- feeling bloated and having wind
- having diarrhoea (with or without constipation)
- small, hard, pellet-like or ribbon-like stools (faeces)
Your diet and lifestyle can also help treat IBS:
How you restrict your diet depends on the way IBS affects you. If you find that certain foods bring on the symptoms, then it makes sense not to eat them. A high-fibre diet may help, but ask your pharmacist for more information.
Some people find that learning to relax can help to lessen their symptoms of IBS. You may find it helpful to set aside a few moments each day to relax and gently unwind.

Silicol Gel - 200ml
IBSIn stockMore InformationWhat is Silicol Gel
Silicolgel contains silicic acid, a compound of the mineral substance silicon and oxygen in a colloidal (highly dispersible) and hydrated form. Silicon is the second most abundant element on Earth, after oxygen. It is found in nature as silicon dioxide and in the hydrated or aqueous form as silicic acid.
Gastrointestinal disorders are usually caused by irritants and by harmful and toxic substances and pathogens. When the gastrointestinal tract is disturbed by such toxic substances and pathogens, it cannot function normally, which may lead to physical discomfort.
The advantage of Silicolgel exists in silicic acid's large and highly reactive surface. When taken internally, it forms a protective and soothing coating over the lining of the stomach and intestines.
How to take Silicol Gel
Take Silicolgel at least 1 hour before or after the intake of medicines.
Take one tablespoonful (15 ml) of Silicolgel thrice daily, preferably before meals.
Silicolgel can be taken either undiluted or diluted with water. After acute symptoms ease, treatment with Silicolgel can continue for another few days.
If the symptoms have not reduced after three days, consult a medical doctor.
With diarrhoea, it is necessary to replace lost fluids.
What does Silicol Gel contain
3.5 g Silicon Dioxide in 100 ml Silicic Acid gel.
Preservatives: Sorbic Acid (E 200), Sodium Benzoate (E 211).
