Itopride is a prokinetic agent commonly used to treat gastrointestinal symptoms.
Mechanism of Action
Itopride works by enhancing gastrointestinal motility and accelerating gastric emptying. It achieves this by inhibiting dopamine D2 receptors and acetylcholinesterase, which increases acetylcholine levels, an essential neurotransmitter for gastrointestinal movement.
Common Uses
Itopride is primarily used to treat symptoms like heartburn, nausea, vomiting, and bloating associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and other gastrointestinal motility disorders.
Dosage Instructions
The standard adult dosage is 50 mg three times daily before meals. However, the dosage can vary based on individual needs and medical conditions. It's crucial to follow the prescription provided by a healthcare provider and not to self-medicate.
Benefits
The key benefit of Itopride is its effectiveness in improving gastrointestinal motility, which helps alleviate symptoms of GERD and other related conditions. It aids in better digestion and reduces discomfort caused by delayed gastric emptying.
Potential Side Effects
Common side effects include abdominal pain, diarrhea, headache, and dizziness. Rarely, it can cause more severe reactions like allergic reactions or changes in liver function tests. It’s important to consult a healthcare provider if any severe or unusual symptoms occur.
Additional Information
Itopride should be used with caution in patients with a history of liver or kidney disorders. It's not recommended for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless deemed necessary by a healthcare professional.
