Benefits

Gastro-Stop helps to restore the natural rhythm of your digestive system so that you can get back to enjoying your day.

Gastro-Stop provides relief from acute diarrhoea and most people experience noticeable improvement within one to three hours after the first dose.

How it works

Gastro-Stop’s active ingredient, loperamide, works locally on the digestive system by slowing down the movement of the intestines. In doing so, the intestines have more time to absorb water and electrolytes which helps to relieve the symptoms of diarrhoea.

Dosage

Gastro-Stop can be used in adults and children over 12 years of age.

Take 2 capsules with water initially, followed by 1 capsule with water after each loose bowel motion as needed.

Do not take more than 8 capsules per day.

If symptoms persist for longer than 48 hours, seek medical advice from a doctor or pharmacist.
