What is Gloup?

Gloup is a specialised medication lubricant designed to make swallowing tablets, vitamins, or capsules easier and more comfortable. It is formulated as a thick liquid or gel that aids in the smooth intake of solid oral dosage forms. This innovative product works by coating the medication, creating a slippery surface that helps the pill or tablet glide down the throat with ease.

How do I use Gloup?

Start by taking Gloup without any medication to acquaint yourself with its taste. There are no side effects associated with this practice.

To use with tablets:

Place the pill or tablet on a spoon.
Add approximately 5mL of Gloup to the spoon, ensuring the entire pill is covered with it.
