Medicinal Benefits:

Alfapride-25 Tab belongs to a group of medicines called 'prokinetics, psycholeptic and antipsychotics' used to treat gastro-oesophagal reflux disease (GERD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), dyspepsia (indigestion). Alfapride-25 Tab increases the pressure of the inferior oesophagal sphincter, thereby preventing the backflow of food and acid from the stomach into the mouth. This helps in treating gastro-oesophagal acid reflux (GERD). Alfapride-25 Tab increases gastrointestinal motility by enhancing the strength of contractions without disrupting their rhythm, thereby helps in treating indigestion. Additionally, Alfapride-25 Tab is also used to treat somatic symptom disorders and chronic schizophrenia with negative symptoms. Alfapride-25 Tab works by blocking the effects of chemical receptors in the brain such as dopamine, thereby helps in improving mood, behaviour and thoughts.
