Medicine Description gasmovac 5mg
Gasmovac 5 mg 30 tablets is a medication that primarily acts as a prokinetic agent. Its active ingredient, mosapride, enhances gastrointestinal motility by stimulating 5-HT4 serotonin receptors in the gastrointestinal tract. This stimulation leads to increased peristalsis and improved gastric emptying, thereby facilitating the movement of food through the digestive system. By promoting motility, Gasmovac helps alleviate symptoms associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and other gastrointestinal disorders without significantly altering gastric acid secretion. This mechanism allows for improved digestion and reduced discomfort after meals.
