Rapilose Fast-acting Glucose Gel 3x25g

Rapilose Fast-acting Glucose Gel

Rapilose Gel is a fast acting glucose gel that provides rapidly absorbed carbohydrates to increase the body's blood sugar levels quickly. Each tube contains 10g of anhydrous glucose - the government's National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) recommends 10g-20g of rapidly absorbed simple carbohydrate for the treatment of mild to moderate hypoglycaemia in children and young people. If your need for carbohydrate is often greater than 10g, then simply use another tube.

Rapilose Gel is particularly useful if you are eating less (e.g. trying to lose weight, upset stomach), or exercising, or in any situation where meals are delayed, skipped or forgotten.

The delicious forest fruits flavoured gel is supplied in handy 25g tubes which fit easily and discreetly into pockets and bags so you can keep one handy at all times. The packaging is functional and easy-to-use, even for patients where dexterity is affected or eyesight is poor.

Rapilose Gel contains no colour additives and is gluten, lactose, fat, caffeine and alcohol free.

Directions

- Simply twist-off the cap, squeeze the gel into your mouth and swallow
- Alternatively, it can be squeezed inside the cheek and the outside of the cheek rubbed gently to aid absorption
