Gastrointestinal Tract
What does gastrointestinal tract care include?
Gastrointestinal tract care is a broad area rather than one diagnosis or one medicine type. It can include treatment approaches for inflammatory bowel conditions, acid-related upper digestive complaints, nausea and impaired gastrointestinal motility. The right option depends on the underlying condition, treatment goal and advice from an authorised health professional.
How do the medicine types in this category differ?
The products we list span three different medicine families. Prednisolone is a corticosteroid used in selected inflammatory gastrointestinal conditions. Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor associated with acid-related conditions, while metoclopramide is a prokinetic antiemetic used in contexts involving nausea or digestive motility. These medicines have different purposes and are not direct substitutes for one another.
Which gastrointestinal tract products do we list?
We list three oral products in this care area. The table helps compare their active ingredients, dosage forms, strengths and starting prices; the commercial unit shown reflects the catalogue unit for each product.

What should Australian customers know before choosing?
In Australia, oral prednisolone tablets are Prescription Only Medicines (Schedule 4), and metoclopramide is also a Schedule 4 medicine requiring a prescription from an authorised prescriber. The prescription classification for the exact Prilosec capsule presentation cannot be assigned without confirming its exact Australian ARTG entry, strength and pack size; Australian Losec entries should not be assumed to apply to Prilosec. A prescriber or pharmacist can help clarify whether a particular medicine is appropriate for your circumstances.
How do delivery and storage considerations apply?
We can dispatch these products to Australia by Express delivery with tracking, estimated at 4-7 days, or Standard delivery without tracking, estimated at 14-21 days. Express shipping costs A$45.58 and Standard shipping costs A$22.78. Free shipping is available for either method when its respective checkout threshold is reached. We accept Visa, Mastercard, Bitcoin and USDT.
Storage matters when medicines travel by post. Prednisolone and Prilosec are stored at 20°C to 25°C in tightly closed containers protected from moisture and light. Reglan is stored at 20°C to 25°C, with permitted excursions from 15°C to 30°C, and should be protected from light in its original light-resistant container. Our packaging helps protect the order during delivery. Once it arrives, collect it promptly and follow the storage directions on each product.
