FAQ

Aren’t more participants needed for the studies of IQoro?

The number of participants in the studies of IQoro has been determined together with a statistician for the data to be sufficient to state that the results are statistically significant, that is they are not down to chance.

This question is usually about the comparison with large drug studies where changes in the body are made by adding a drug, for example to reduce the production of stomach acid.

Changes in the body involve a high risk that must be carefully balanced against the benefit, which requires a significantly larger basis for capturing unusual side effects or placebo effects.

IQoro is a CE marked medical device product, class 1, low risk. With that come other requirements and regulations.

Can I experience muscle soreness from using IQoro?

Yes, you may experience muscle soreness from using IQoro.

Muscle soreness is mainly experienced in the mouth, tongue and throat and can sometimes even be experienced in the same way as when you get sick, even though it is the muscles that hurt and not an incipient throat infection.

Experiencing muscle soreness is not dangerous and it will go away on its own. You can continue to train despite the soreness, but try to reduce the number of seconds per stretch slightly over a period of time and then slowly step up to ten seconds per stretch again after a few weeks.

Here you can read more about IQoro and muscle soreness.

Why have my symptoms worsened?

Suffering from worsening symptoms after a period of exercise can be unpleasant, but is completely harmless. The reason behind it is that IQoro creates a pressure change inside the body.

The change in pressure causes the stomach acid to be pushed up into the esophagus even more easily, while your muscles have not yet become strong enough to hold the stomach in place.

When this happens, it is important to continue treatment, as strengthened muscles will counteract your symptoms in the long run.

Is Brexit affecting me if I want to buy an IQoro?

No. Brexit is not affecting your purchase when buying from us.

The UK and the EU have  an agreement on a post-Brexit trade deal. This means amongst other things that there is no customs tariff on an IQoro shipped to the UK from Sweden. 

1. Pricing

We have not made any price changes on IQoro due to Brexit. 

2. Importing

You may order and receive your IQoro without worrying about the new import rules after Brexit.

There is nothing extra that you need to do or pay to facilitate the delivery of your IQoro. 


We offer two different delivery options to the UK, to make sure everyone can find a price and a delivery time that works best for them.

3. Consumer rights

The consumer rights laid out in our Terms and Conditions is at this point not affected by Brexit. In case of changes in the consumer rights, we will update accordingly.

I ordered an IQoro, but haven´t received a confirmation

When you make a purchase in the webshop, a confirmation is automatically sent to your email adress. Please, check you spamfolder if it ended up there. If you do not get an order confirmation at all, your purchase has for some reason not been finalized

Does IQoro come with a guarantee?

Yes, you get two different guarantees when you buy an IQoro – a manufacturing guarantee and a results guarantee.

Manufacturing guarantee

Upon purchase, IQoro comes with a 7-month manufacturing guarantee, which covers any damage that may have occurred during the actual manufacture.

The accompanying IQoro manual contains information about the guarantee and how to best to care for your IQoro. Expected service life is 12 months of normal use. This is based on the fact that IQoro is a product that is used in the mouth and that has to be pulled. This leads to natural wear and tear in the plastic during use.

Do not use IQoro if it is broken or has cracks in the plastic.

Read more about our manufacturing guarantee.

Results guarantee

Upon purchase, IQoro comes with a results guarantee. This means that you can get your money back if you do not notice any positive changes in your symptoms within 6 months.

Read more about our results guarantee.

I’ve heard about IQoro on my Facebook LPR GERD support site, can I buy it in the US?

No. IQoro would need to approved by the FDA before we could supply to US citizens. That’s not a huge hurdle for a device that is CE marked, and it’s in our development plans – but not yet!

I have read in the manual that a symptom document (patient questionnaire) should be used. Where can I find it?

E-mail to: info@iqoro.com, and we will send it to you.

Do you deliver IQoro to my country?

If you live in the UK, EU or EES, you can get an IQoro delivered to you from our webshop.

This means that if you for example live in islands like Guernsey or Jersey, you will not be able to get an IQoro delivered and our warranty is not covering countries outside the EU/EES and UK.

Why do I get blood in my mouth when using IQoro?

Finding or tasting blood in your mouth when using IQoro is probably down to one of the following three causes:

  1. The gastric acid that comes up during a hiatus hernia may have created small ulcers in the mucous membrane of the oesophagus that then began to bleed. And when using the IQoro, increased pressure is created. This may carry this blood up to your mouth instead of down into your stomach. The blood is harmless and the wounds will heal when the hiatus hernia is treated and the amount of gastric acid that comes up into the oesophagus is reduced.
  2. An ongoing infection of the mouth or teeth can lead to a weakened and bleeding mucous membrane. If you haven’t been to the dentist for a while, it might be time for a visit.
  3. If you take medication that causes mucous membranes to weaken as a side effect, this may make the mucous membranes of your mouth and throat more sensitive to the pressure changes that training with IQoro involves.

If you feel unsure about why you are experiencing bleeding in your mouth, you can always contact our customer support, or learn more about IQoro secondary and side effects.
