Medicine Description gerdcare 5 mg
gerdcare 5 mg tablets is a medication that contains mosapride, which acts as a gastroprokinetic agent. It functions by enhancing gastrointestinal motility through the selective stimulation of 5-HT4 serotonin receptors. This action leads to increased peristalsis and accelerates gastric emptying, thereby alleviating symptoms associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and functional dyspepsia. Additionally, mosapride has a mild antiemetic effect, which can help in reducing nausea and vomiting.
