Dynetic 50mg

Itopride Hydrochloride is a gastrointestinal motility medicine used to relieve nausea, vomiting, bloating, and indigestion. It works by enhancing stomach and intestinal movement, helping food pass more quickly through the digestive system. This reduces reflux episodes and relieves discomfort caused by delayed gastric emptying.

Doctor’s Review

Dr. Farhan Siddiqui, MBBS, FCPS – Gastroenterology
I prescribe Itopride for patients struggling with indigestion, bloating, and delayed stomach emptying. It improves gastric motility and provides relief from nausea and reflux symptoms. In my practice, most patients tolerate it well, with only mild side effects like headache or dizziness. I avoid it in patients with Parkinson’s disease or those already on multiple central nervous system drugs. When used correctly, Itopride is a dependable option for functional digestive disorders.
