When a stomach bug or other condition brings on diarrhoea, the food youve eaten rushes through your system far too quickly, before your body can properly absorb its nutrients and water. Its not only unpleasant, but often uncomfortable. Market-leading* Gastro-Stops active ingredient, Loperamide Hydrochloride, brings fast relief in two important ways. It slows down your system to a normal pace, giving your intestine the time to absorb nutrients and liquid, and as well, it provides relief from cramps and associated pains.
Take two capsules (4mg) with a glass of water. After subsequent loose bowel motions, take one capsule with water. Do not exceed eight capsules per day and use only for 48 hours. Do not give to children under 12 years of age. Seek a doctors advice if diarrhoea persists.
Ingredients: Loperamide Hydrochloride 2mg, maize starch, lactose, povidone, sodium starch glycolate, magnesium stearate, water, gelatine, colours E131, E171, E172.
If you have a fever, notice blood in your stools, are taking other medications, have another diagnosed medical condition, or are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult a doctor before taking Gastro-Stop.
In the event of an accidental overdose, call the Poisons Information Centre 13 11 26 immediately for advice, or contact your nearest hospital casualty or doctor.
