About Gloup
How does Gloup,
the pill swallow gel help?
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.

As a former mobile FEES provider, I would hear many clinicians report that their patients struggled with swallowing their medications. I would look for compensatory techniques during FEES, but Gloup would have been instrumental to recommend for patient care.

Many patients with normal swallows, as observed on FEES, still reported difficulty with medication. Gloup is an easy, cost-effective medical device solution to this problem that puts the patient first!
