Medicine Description farcotilium 2.5mg
Farcotilium 120 ml syrup is a medication that works primarily as a dopamine receptor antagonist, specifically targeting the D2 receptors in the gastrointestinal tract. By blocking these receptors, it enhances gastrointestinal motility and accelerates gastric emptying. This action helps prevent the sensation of nausea and the act of vomiting, making it beneficial in various therapeutic scenarios. Furthermore, by increasing the peristalsis in the stomach and intestines, Farcotilium alleviates symptoms associated with gastroparesis and other motility disorders, facilitating smoother passage of contents through the digestive system.
