What does it do?

Itopride hydrochloride is a medication that activates gastrointestinal motility and is used to relieve symptoms of dyspepsia or decreased gastric function. It improves gastrointestinal motility by blocking dopamine receptors and promoting acetylcholine secretion.

This ingredient increases the movement of gastric muscles to help food pass smoothly through the digestive tract. It blocks signals that hinder gastrointestinal motility by inhibiting dopamine receptors and promotes gastrointestinal motility by increasing acetylcholine secretion.
