Enterosgel Oral Intestinal Adsorbent Suspension 90g

Oral intestinal adsorbent suspension for the treatment of acute diarrhoea (stomach bugs, Travellers' diarrhoea) and irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhoea (IBS-D). Reduces duration of acute diarrhoea and provides effective relief of the main symptoms of IBS-D: diarrhoea, abdominal pain, bloating and urgency.

Mechanism of action
ENTEROSGEL® is an oral intestinal adsorbent based on organic mineral. It works in the gut physically binding to toxic and harmful substances (e.g. bacterial toxins) and removing them from the gut, reducing stool frequency and duration of diarrhoea. ENTEROSGEL® is not absorbed by the body and is expelled with the stool, eliminating adsorbed toxins and harmful substances.

Intended use
ENTEROSGEL® is indicated for the symptomatic treatment of acute diarrhoea and the treatment of the main symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhoea (IBS-D).

Free from
