Itoguard Tablets 50mg – Itopride for Dyspepsia & Gastric Motility Disorders
Description
Itoguard Tablets 50mg – Itopride Gastroprokinetic for Dyspepsia Relief
Itoguard Tablets 50mg contain Itopride Hydrochloride, a gastroprokinetic agent prescribed for functional dyspepsia (non-ulcer indigestion), chronic gastritis, and gastric motility disorders. It relieves symptoms including bloating, early satiety, nausea, heartburn, and upper abdominal discomfort. This is a prescription-only medicine.
Itopride enhances gastrointestinal motility through two complementary mechanisms:
- Dopamine D2 receptor antagonism — stimulates acetylcholine release, promoting coordinated gut movement and faster gastric emptying.
- Acetylcholinesterase inhibition — prevents breakdown of acetylcholine, prolonging its pro-motility effect.
Unlike older prokinetics, itopride does not cross the blood-brain barrier significantly, reducing central nervous system side effects. The standard dose is one 50mg tablet three times daily before meals. The Itoguard OD 150mg sustained-release formulation provides equivalent daily exposure in a single once-daily dose for patients who prefer simplified dosing.
Key Information for Patients
- Prescription required — use only as directed by your doctor.
- Take before meals for optimal gastric emptying effect.
- Complete the prescribed course even if symptoms improve early.
- Report any jaundice, unusual fatigue, or blood count changes promptly.
