Akostol Tablet is primarily used in the treatment of functional dyspepsia (indigestion). Akostol Tablet is a new gastroprokinetics (enhances the movement of food from the mouth through the stomach and intestines) used for treating gastrointestinal symptoms such as heartburn, vomiting, and nausea. It helps relieve the symptoms like bloating after a meal, pain/discomfort in the upper abdomen, and early satiety (feeling full after eating only a little food). Akostol Tablet works by increasing the level of a chemical (acetylcholine) concentration, which increases the gastrointestinal peristalsis movement. Therefore, it increases intestine motility, accelerates gastric emptying time, and improves food movement throughout the gastrointestinal tract.
