Description
Gloup® is a universal medication lubricant that makes solid medicines, such as tablets, capsules, vitamins and powders, EASIER TO SWALLOW.
How does Gloup work?
1. Gloup is a slippery gel that enables you to swallow your medicines easily and assists them in passing smoothly through the oesophagus to the stomach.
2. Gloup moistens the mucous membranes in the mouth and throat.
3. The orange flavour of Gloup assists in masking the bitterness of tablets.
Why use Gloup?
Many patients have difficulty with, or simply don’t like, swallowing their medications. As a result they either avoid taking their medication, or alter the medication by crushing or splitting it, which can result in:
– a change in therapeutic effect
– increased risk of side effects
When patients alter (crush or split) medication, they also often mix with substances such as yoghurt, fruit puree, jam, or thickened fluids. None of these substances have been designed for use with medications and can impact the efficacy, side effect profile and absorption of the drug.
Who can use Gloup?
Gloup can be used by anyone who struggles to swallow solid medicines, vitamins and/or nutritional supplements including those who suffer from Dysphasia. Gloup does not contain sugar, gluten or gelatine and is free from allergens. Gloup is not suitable for infants less than 2 years old.
