Itoguard Od 150mg Tablets – Itopride Sr for Dyspepsia & Gastric Disorders
Description
Itoguard OD 150mg – Once-Daily Itopride SR for Sustained Dyspepsia Relief
Itoguard OD 150mg Tablets contain Itopride Hydrochloride (150mg, sustained release) — a gastroprokinetic agent prescribed for functional dyspepsia, chronic gastritis, and gastric motility disorders. The OD (once-daily) sustained-release formulation provides extended symptom control throughout the day, replacing the three-times-daily regimen of the standard Itoguard 50mg tablet. This is a prescription-only medicine.
Itopride improves gastrointestinal motility by:
- Dopamine D2 receptor antagonism — promotes acetylcholine release, enhancing gastric motility and emptying.
- Acetylcholinesterase inhibition — prevents breakdown of acetylcholine, sustaining its pro-motility effect over time.
The sustained-release matrix ensures consistent plasma levels across a 24-hour period, improving patient compliance without sacrificing efficacy.
Key Information for Patients
- Prescription required — do not self-medicate.
- Take once daily, preferably before a main meal.
- Swallow whole — do not crush or chew the sustained-release tablet.
- Report any signs of jaundice, unusual tiredness, or changes in blood count to your doctor.
