About Gastro-Stop 2mg Capsules 20 (S2)
Gastro-Stop 2mg Capsules 20 is an effective short-term treatment for the relief of acute diarrhoea .

This fast-acting formula provides relief from sudden diarrhoea episodes, reducing frequency and urgency, and helping you get back to your day with confidence. Gastro-Stop is suitable for adults and children over 12 years of age and is classified as a Schedule 2 (S2) Pharmacy Medicine , available without prescription.
