What does it do?

Mosapride citrate hydrate is a drug that activates gastrointestinal motility and is used to treat dyspepsia or gastrointestinal dysfunction. This ingredient helps by promoting the muscular movements of the gastrointestinal tract, aiding in the digestion and movement of food.

Mosapride acts on serotonin receptors in the gastrointestinal tract to promote the contraction of gastric muscles. As a result, gastrointestinal motility becomes active, facilitating smooth digestion and quick movement of food.
