Medicine Description acilight 75 mg
Acilight 75 mg Tablets is a medication that combines metoclopramide and ranitidine to address gastrointestinal issues. Metoclopramide acts on the central nervous system and peripheral pathways by enhancing the motility of the upper gastrointestinal tract. It increases the frequency of gastric contractions and decreases the time taken for food to move through the stomach and intestines. Ranitidine, on the other hand, belongs to a class of medications known as H2-receptor antagonists. It works by selectively blocking histamine H2 receptors in the stomach lining, leading to a reduction in gastric acid secretion. This dual action helps alleviate symptoms of heartburn and indigestion while promoting healing in the gastrointestinal tract.
