Itopid Tablet 50 mg contains Itopride Hydrochloride, a prokinetic and gastroprotective agent used to improve gastrointestinal motility and relieve symptoms of functional dyspepsia, gastroparesis, and other upper gastrointestinal disorders. Itopride enhances gastric emptying, reduces bloating, and alleviates nausea, vomiting, and abdominal discomfort, providing effective symptomatic relief for patients with impaired digestive function.

Functional dyspepsia and related gastrointestinal disorders are common conditions characterized by delayed gastric emptying, bloating, early satiety, and discomfort after meals. Itopid Tablet 50 mg works by stimulating gastrointestinal motility and increasing the release of acetylcholine in the digestive tract, improving the coordination of gastrointestinal movements and facilitating the passage of food through the stomach and intestines.

Composition

Each tablet contains:

• Itopride Hydrochloride 50 mg – a gastroprokinetic agent that enhances gastrointestinal motility and reduces digestive discomfort

The formulation also contains inactive excipients to ensure tablet stability, bioavailability, and patient-friendly administration.

Mechanism of Action

Itopid Tablet 50 mg acts through a dual mechanism:

• Dopamine D2 receptor antagonism: By blocking D2 receptors in the gastrointestinal tract, Itopride enhances acetylcholine release, stimulating smooth muscle contraction and promoting gastric motility.

• Acetylcholinesterase inhibition: Itopride inhibits the breakdown of acetylcholine, prolonging its action on gastrointestinal muscles and improving coordination of gastric and intestinal movements.

These mechanisms result in accelerated gastric emptying, reduced gastrointestinal stasis, and improved digestion, effectively relieving symptoms such as bloating, fullness, and nausea.
