Tepride 50mg

Description

Tepride contains Itopride Hydrochloride, a prokinetic agent used to relieve common digestive discomfort like bloating, fullness, nausea, and slow stomach movement. It works by speeding up food movement in the digestive tract and preventing excess acid buildup.

Key Uses

Commonly used to manage symptoms of functional dyspepsia such as:

• Bloating or heaviness after meals

• Early fullness

• Upper abdominal discomfort

• Heartburn, nausea, or loss of appetite

How It Works

Itopride boosts the release of acetylcholine, a chemical that improves stomach muscle movement, and also prevents its breakdown—leading to smoother digestion and faster emptying of the stomach.

Common Side Effects

Some users may experience:

• Headache, dizziness, or tremor

• Diarrhea or constipation

• Abdominal pain or increased saliva

• Mild skin rash or itching

Rarely, hormonal effects like breast tenderness can appear due to increased prolactin levels.

Doctor Review

Dr. Salman Qureshi (Gastroenterologist): Itopride is often used when patients complain of sluggish digestion without any ulcer or serious disease. It improves food movement and relieves post-meal heaviness. It’s generally well-tolerated but shouldn’t be used in people with intestinal blockage or uncontrolled bleeding.

Caution

Avoid if:

• You have mechanical obstruction, GI bleeding, or perforation

• You’re allergic to Itopride or similar medicines

Use carefully in pregnancy or elderly patients, only under doctor supervision.
