How Does Gloup, The Pill Swallow Gel Work?
Do you or your patients take medication with yogurt, applesauce, or pudding? Before Gloup was available, this was common—but many don’t realize that certain foods can reduce a medication’s effectiveness. To address this, a home nurse and a French university developed the pill swallow gel that helps ensure medications work
as intended.
Made from 100% natural ingredients, Gloup is a safe, effective gel designed to make swallowing medication easier. It coats the pill, masking unpleasant tastes and helping it glide smoothly from mouth to stomach. Suitable for both whole and crushed medications, Gloup is safe for patients as young as 2 years old.
Certain foods and drinks can significantly reduce a medication’s effectiveness. For example, taking acetaminophen (paracetamol)with yogurt can lead to a surprising 60% loss of its active ingredient.Even more alarming, consuming orange juice or applesauce with a beta-blocker can reduce its potency by up to 80%. Despite recent studies highlighting these interactions, the issue remains largely overlooked. Gloup offers a simple, effective solution that helps ensure medications work as intended—without interfering with their absorption or dosage.
For Healthcare Providers
Why Gloup is the ideal choice for your patients
Dysphagia and pill-swallowing difficulties are common challenges that can significantly impact medication adherence and therapeutic outcomes. Gloup provides a clinically validated solution designed to facilitate safe and effective oral administration of solid dosage forms. Its unique gel formulation reduces the risk of aspiration and choking by ensuring tablets and capsules pass smoothly through the esophagus, while maintaining the integrity of the medication itself. Unlike unregulated alternatives such as applesauce or yogurt, Gloup offers a consistent, standardized method that supports proper dosing and enhances patient safety.
Gloup is available in multiple formulations to accommodate diverse patient populations, including those with specific dietary restrictions or sensitivities. It is free from common allergens, does not interfere with the pharmacokinetics of most medications, and complies with established healthcare standards. By incorporating Gloup into clinical practice, healthcare providers can improve adherence, reduce medication-related complications, and support better overall outcomes in patients with swallowing difficulties.
