Diarrhoea Relief for Children
Enterosgel Kids is a safe and effective treatment for kids with short-term diarrhoea, suitable for ages 0 yr+. Great to take with you on holiday to help stop those tummy troubles, as the whole family can use it.
- Suitable for all ages, including newborns.
- Can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
- Completely non-allergenic.
- ENTEROSGEL is not a drug. It works just in the gut, acting like a clever sponge, gently cleansing the gut of harmful substances and before expelling them from the body in the stool.
- All studies with ENTEROSGEL have proven that it is safe with few side effects.
How does Enterosgel work?
ENTEROSGEL passes through the gut, binding to bacterial toxins, immune chemicals and other harmful substances which can cause your symptoms, expelling them from the body via the stool. It is a safe and effective treatment for IBS diarrhoea and for short-term diarrhoea (travellers’ diarrhoea, tummy bugs) in children and adults.
The product is a gel that you can easily mix with water or an oral rehydration salt solution, and because the gel has no taste, kids will tolerate it well. Taking with oral rehydration solution (ORS) is a great option for kids with diarrhoea, as Enterosgel reduces the duration of the diarrhoea, and the ORS helps to prevent them from getting dehydrated.
Shake the tube well before opening and each use.
