Medicine Description sorbiperan 2.5mg
Sorbiperan 2.5mg Syrup is a medication that combines metoclopramide and sorbitol, functioning primarily as an antiemetic and gastrointestinal motility agent. Metoclopramide acts by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain which helps to alleviate nausea and vomiting while simultaneously enhancing gastric emptying. It promotes the movement of food through the stomach and intestines by increasing the frequency of contractions in the upper digestive tract. Sorbitol, a sugar alcohol, serves as a laxative that enhances water retention in the intestines, facilitating stool passage and relieving constipation. Together, these components make Sorbiperan effective in treating conditions associated with nausea, vomiting, and delayed gastric emptying, while also addressing constipation-related symptoms.
