Field of use

Stop the diarrhea
Diarrhea is a defense reaction of the body and not a disease. Diarrhea is a symptom that our normally functioning digestion is disturbed or changed. The reasons for this are different. Lactose or fructose intolerance, consumption of food that is spoiled by poisons or pathogens, as well as contaminated drinking water can cause diarrhea. Our digestive system usually absorbs nutrients, liquid and electrolytes from food. The firm and indigestible components of the food remain in the chair and are excreted. Behind the sudden and only a few days of diarrhea are usually infections with pathogens. In the event of severe diarrhea, the body loses large amounts of water and salts. There is a risk of drying out.

With a tried and tested active ingredient
The active ingredient loperamide hydrochloride binds directly to the receptors in the intestinal area. The increased intestinal movements, which speed up the intestinal content, are slowed down by Loperamide. The frequency of stool emptying can be reduced and the diarrhea can be stopped.

Vacation time remains a recovery time
If the toilet suddenly becomes a central topic on vacation, it is not only extremely uncomfortable for those affected, but also stressful. A time and air conditioning, unusual, sharp or greasy dishes, contaminated drinking water, poor hygienic conditions can cause diarrhea on vacation. The holiday rescuer can be Loperamide. The diarrhea can be stopped quickly and nothing stands in the way of a relaxing vacation.

Note protective measures
It is difficult to protect yourself from infection. However, there are a few helpful measures. Different foods should be avoided. Caution also applies to foods that have been kept uncooled for a long time. Diseased family members should wash their hands and change duvets regularly. It is advisable toin the sanitary area, as well as door handles, to disinfect. General hygiene measures are helpful.

Children and seniors
Children and older people are particularly susceptible to pathogens that cause diarrhea. Diseases occur particularly often in daycare centers, old people's homes and hospitals. Older people tend to drink little. Children often still have to be encouraged to drink. These groups of people in particular can quickly dehydrate if the body loses a lot of fluid and valuable electrolytes through diarrhea.
