I ordered some Iberogast online. The thing is there are no instructions in english in the pack. I know the adult dose is twenty drops before meals, but don't know if this should be taken in water or straight into the mouth. Can anyone advise?

By the way for those of you who may remember me, I got a lot better for about four months this year. Then about two months ago the LPR-like symptoms returned, although not as bad as before. Anyway I am having further tests and will be seeing a new gastroenterologist later in the month.

Hi there

I've tried Iberogast. It possibly helped a bit but I wasn't able to take the full dose as, like many indigestion remedies, it seemed to work by hurrying everything along and I don't need any help there, if you catch my drift. I found it awkward to keep up with at work too.

However, it does have good reviews and is worth a go. I did have some English instructions that came with one of the bottles - you DO put it into water or any other small drink that you can tolerate. I used to put mine in soya milk. If memory serves it was meant to be something like 20 mins before food three times a day. Hope that helps.

Hi MMM,
Thank you for that information. I'll try it in a little water before meals.

All the best.

Hi - how are you getting on with this?

I just came across the instructions that came with one of my bottles! So here it is: -

Iberogast should be taken three times a day before or with meals.
Adults/Children over 12 years: 20 drops
Children (6-12 years): 15 drops
Children (3-6 years): 10 drops
Children (3 months- 3 years): 8 drops
Safety
There are no known side effects of Iberogast and this is based on 40 years of post-surveillance data in Europe. Over 20 million patients have been treated with Iberogast since market launch and it was shown to be effective for common use with no safety concerns.
Drug Interactions and Allergies
There are no known drug interactions with Iberogast based on 40 years of post surveillance data. Iberogast can also be taken before or with meals; therefore, food does not affect the efficacy of the product.
Iberogast should NOT be used by individuals who have an allergy to any specific component of the product. Iberogast is comprised of the following 9 ingredients: Iberis amara, Angelica, Chamomile, Caraway fruit, St. Mary’s Thistle, Balm leaves, Peppermint leaves, Celandine, and Liquorice root.
Iberogast should NOT be taken by patients with an illness related to alcohol. It must be noted that there is more alcohol in a glass of apple juice than in 4 times the adult dose of Iberogast.


Hope that helps!

Hi MMM,

Thank you for going to the time and trouble of posting the instructions for this :-)

I emailed the makers of Iberogast in Germany, Steigerwald, explaining the situation. They advised me not to take it and to try and get it from a reputable source and going on to explain the dangers of ordering anything of this nature on the internet.
Anyway, I then received an email from Bayer Healthcare in Switzerland saying that their affiliate company Steigerwald had been in touch about this and asked if I would send them the bottles as they were interested in having a look at them. And that they would send me two authentic bottles in return.

As yet, I haven't gotten round to doing this. I'll let you know how I get on if I do.

Take care.

Gosh, I never thought about that problem! That's good of them to look into though.

I've tried this product before. When I took it though, I always had like a minty aftertaste.

Iberogast has great reviews, but I couldn't get past the taste. It gave me heartburn. I mixed it in a little water.
