Gastro-Stop is the No. 1 selling brand in Australia for diarrhoea relief with two effective diarrhoea relief solutions that can be tailored to your symptoms1.
What is diarrhoea?
If your digestive system becomes irritated and goes into overdrive, this can lead to water and nutrients moving too quickly through the intestines. The result? Watery, loose stools that we know as diarrhoea. Diarrhoea can be uncomfortable too, especially if you also suffer from gas-related symptoms such as bloating, cramps and wind.
The Gastro-Stop key active, Loperamide, slows down the movement of the intestines.
This give more time to absorb water and electrolytes helping relieve the symptoms of diarrhoea.
Gastro-Stop PLUS relieves diarrhoea with Loperamide and the second active Simethicone, works on the gas bubbles by helping release them. This reduces the abdominal discomfort and wind associated with diarrhoea.
Gastro-Stop PLUS shortens the duration* of diarrhoea so you can get back to your day.
