Medicine Description ganaton 50mg
Ganaton 50mg Tablets is a medication that contains the active ingredient itopride hydrochloride, which acts primarily as a prokinetic agent. It enhances gastrointestinal motility by inhibiting dopamine D2 receptors while simultaneously stimulating acetylcholine release. This dual action results in increased peristalsis and improved gastric emptying. By promoting the coordination of contractions in the esophagus and stomach, itopride helps facilitate the movement of food through the digestive tract, thereby reducing symptoms associated with reflux and dyspepsia.
