FAQ: How does loperamide work for diarrhoea? Loperamide acts on opioid receptors in the gut wall, slowing the muscular contractions that move contents through the intestine. This reduces stool frequency and urgency, and also decreases fluid secretion into the bowel - reducing the watery consistency of diarrhoeal stools. Unlike systemic opioids, loperamide does not cross the blood-brain barrier at therapeutic doses, so it has no narcotic effects.
FAQ: When should I NOT take Gastro-Stop? Do not take Gastro-Stop if you have bloody diarrhoea, high fever, or suspect you have a serious infection (salmonella, campylobacter, E. coli O157). In these cases, slowing the bowel can prolong the infection. Gastro-Stop is for uncomplicated acute diarrhoea only. If symptoms persist beyond 48 hours, worsen, or are accompanied by fever or blood, seek medical attention. Not for children under 12 without medical advice.
FAQ: Can I take Gastro-Stop for traveller's diarrhoea? Yes - Gastro-Stop is widely used for traveller's diarrhoea management. It provides rapid symptom control to allow continued travel or activities. However, do not use if there is blood in the stool or high fever as these may indicate a bacterial infection where loperamide could be harmful. For travel preparation, ask our pharmacist about comprehensive traveller's health kits and preventive strategies.

Frequently Asked Questions Q: Which sports commonly use purple K-tape in NZ? A: Purple is a team colour in various NZ provincial and club teams across rugby, netball, basketball and martial arts. Purple K-tape is also used in awareness events for various health causes associated with the colour purple, including epilepsy awareness and domestic violence awareness campaigns. It is a distinctive colour choice that stands out on the field.
Q: Is purple K-tape the same therapeutic quality as beige or black Premium? A: Yes — all colours of USL Sport Premium K-tape share the same high-grade cotton and adhesive formulation. Purple, black, beige, pink and other colours all provide identical therapeutic performance. The colour choice is purely aesthetic and has no impact on the tape's elastic properties, adhesion or clinical effectiveness.
Q: Can I combine purple K-tape with other colours for team taping designs? A: Absolutely — multi-colour K-tape applications are popular for team branding, awareness events and aesthetic personalisation. All colours of Premium K-tape have the same properties, so mixing purple with black, beige or other colours works perfectly from both a therapeutic and aesthetic standpoint.
Q: How do I get the best adhesion with purple Premium K-tape in NZ winter conditions? A: Cold temperatures can reduce adhesive activation speed. After applying the tape, rub the tape surface briskly with your palm for 15–20 seconds to generate heat and activate the adhesive — this is even more important in cold winter conditions. Applying to warm skin (after a hot shower or following the warm-up) also significantly improves initial adhesion in cold weather.

FAQ: How is the Large kit different from the Medium kit? The Large kit contains a greater quantity and broader range of first aid supplies than the Medium - appropriate for larger workplaces with more employees, higher-risk industries or environments more distant from medical services where extended first aid capability is needed. The Medium is suited to small offices and low-risk workplaces; the Large for construction, manufacturing, sports facilities and larger premises.
FAQ: How do I determine which kit size my workplace needs? WorkSafe NZ guidelines recommend first aid kit contents based on workplace hazard level and number of workers. Low-hazard workplaces with fewer than 10 workers typically require a basic kit; medium-hazard workplaces with 10-50 workers need a standard kit; high-hazard workplaces require more comprehensive kits. Consult WorkSafe NZ guidelines or our pharmacist for specific workplace first aid requirements.

HOW TO USE

CARE & DISPOSAL

KEEP YOUR BRUSH DRY
Bamboo is a natural material that keeps best when kept in a dry area. Enclosed toothbrush cups that collect water are not ideal. It’s best to keep your toothbrush in an open-air toothbrush holder or any other dry area.
CLEANING THE BRISTLES
You can wash and care for our bristles just like a conventional toothbrush.
YOUR HANDLE
Bamboo is natural woody material that will fade over time. The bamboo on the top portion of your toothbrush that goes in your mouth may begin to appear lighter and faded with use. This is normal! It will not affect your brushing experience.
