Loose stools and the constant need to find a toilet can make it hard to get on with your day. Enterosgel® is a tasteless oral gel for relief of acute diarrhoea and diarrhoea associated with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D).

It works within the gut, binding certain substances linked to diarrhoea and carrying them out in the stool. The gel itself isn’t absorbed into your bloodstream. Simply mix the recommended dose with water and follow the directions for your age and symptoms.

  • Helps reduce the frequency and duration of acute diarrhoea
  • Helps relieve diarrhoea, urgency, bloating and abdominal pain associated with IBS-D
  • Tasteless, with no added flavours, sugar, sweeteners or preservatives
  • Available in 90g and 225g tubes

Always read the label and follow the directions for use.

Ingredients

Polymethylsiloxane polyhydrate (methylsilicic acid hydrogel) 70%; purified water 30%.

How to Use

Shake the tube before each use. Mix the measured dose into room-temperature water, then swallow.

Usual doses, three times daily:
• Adults and ages 15+: 15–22.5g in 200mL water.
• Ages 7–14: 10g in 50–100mL water.
• Ages 1–6: 5g in 50–100mL water.
• Under 1: 2.5g in 7.5–15mL water.
Ask a doctor before giving to children under 3.

Start after the first loose stool. Keep doses at least 2 hours apart from oral medicines and 1–2 hours apart from meals. Maintain fluids; oral rehydration solution may be needed.

Typical course: 3–5 days for acute diarrhoea; up to 30 days for IBS-D, followed by a minimum 3-day break. Consult the enclosed leaflet for first-day or ongoing diarrhoea dose adjustments. Follow the stated dose limits.

Warnings & Disclaimers

Do not use with modified-release oral medicines, bowel obstruction, intestinal atony, or a previous intolerance to Enterosgel. Separate other oral medicines by at least 2 hours; ask your pharmacist about compatibility. Seek advice before combining with other intestinal adsorbents.

See a doctor if diarrhoea lasts over 2 days. Seek prompt advice for fever, bloody stools, dehydration, severe or persistent abdominal pain, six or more diarrhoea episodes in 24 hours, or diarrhoea with vomiting.

Constipation and nausea can occur. Pause use if there is no bowel movement for 1–2 days, drink more water and resume after the next bowel movement.

Consult a doctor before use in children under 3, and if unwell during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Obtain medical assessment for persistent diarrhoea. This product is not for chemical poisoning, drug poisoning or overdose.

FAQs

Which tube size should I choose?

Both sizes contain the same gel. The 90g tube is smaller to carry, while the 225g tube provides more doses. The dose depends on age, not tube size.

Can I take it with my medication?

Leave at least 2 hours between Enterosgel and other oral medicines. Do not use with modified-release oral medication. Your pharmacist can check your particular medicine.

Can I use it while pregnant or breastfeeding?

The instructions allow use during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but recommend consulting a doctor, particularly if you are unwell.

Does it replace rehydration?

No. Keep up fluids during diarrhoea and use oral rehydration solution when appropriate.
