Enterosgel

How Enterosgel differs

Unlike loperamide (Imodium), which slows the bowel, Enterosgel is a drug-free gel that binds to toxins and irritants and carries them out of the body. That makes it suitable for adults and children, and it can be used alongside rehydration. It comes as single-dose sachets and a Kids tube — choose by who's taking it and convenience.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Enterosgel different from Imodium?

Imodium (loperamide) slows the bowel, while Enterosgel binds and removes irritants and isn't absorbed — which is why it suits adults and children, including younger ages than loperamide.

Sachets or Kids tube — which should I choose?

Both contain the same gel. Sachets are convenient single doses; the Kids tube is handy for measuring smaller amounts for children.

Do I still need rehydration?

Yes — keep drinking fluids and consider an oral rehydration solution alongside, and seek advice if diarrhoea is severe or prolonged.
