Medicine Description Garopride 50 mg
Garopride 50 mg tablets is a medication that enhances gastrointestinal motility by acting as a prokinetic agent. Itopride, the active ingredient, works by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase, which increases the levels of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that promotes smooth muscle contraction in the digestive tract. This action helps to improve gastric emptying and alleviate symptoms associated with delayed gastric motility. Additionally, Itopride has mild antiemetic properties, which help reduce nausea and vomiting by modulating the gastric and intestinal functions.
