Gastro-Stop Loperamide 2mg Capsules 20

*EXPIRY DATE: JULY ’22*

Gastro-Stop provides relief from acute and chronic diarrhoea. It provides effective relief within one to three hours after the first dose. When taken with adequate fluids, Gastro Stop provides relief from the symptoms of diarrhoea including loose motions, cramps and associated pain. It allows you to proceed with your normal routine and holiday/business plans. 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.
