For many people, taking tablets is the hardest part of the day. Pills catch in the throat, get chewed, or end up crushed into food when they shouldn't be. Gloup is a slippery gel that coats tablets and capsules so they slide down more easily, and it masks bitter tastes. It's designed to break down straight away in the stomach, with no known drug interactions.
Choose the Right Gloup: Original or Forte
This 500ml pump bottle comes in two versions with different thicknesses. Choose the one that matches your needs:
- Strawberry Banana (Gloup Original): IDDSI Level 3, Moderately Thick. For anyone who finds tablets hard to swallow, and appropriate for most people.
- Vanilla (Gloup Forte): IDDSI Level 4, Extremely Thick. For people with more severe swallowing difficulties (dysphagia), under the advice of a health professional.
If you're on thickened fluids, your speech pathologist will tell you which IDDSI level is right for you.

Adults and children from 2 years who struggle to swallow tablets.
