Diarrhoea is a recognised side effect of many medicines: ⚛︎ Vaccines (including COVID-19 boosters) ⚛︎ Cancer treatments (chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy combinations) ⚛︎ Painkillers and common prescriptions

ENTEROSGEL® is an oral intestinal adsorbent (enterosorbent) that helps by binding and adsorbing endotoxins and safely removing them from the gut. Unlike probiotics, which add back “good bacteria” but cannot remove toxic fragments, ENTEROSGEL® deals directly with the irritants.

ENTEROSGEL® allows patients to continue vital therapies without interruption, reducing diarrhoea and fatigue. That means: ⚛︎ greater treatment adherence, ⚛︎ fewer missed workdays, ⚛︎ and more dignity during recovery.
