About MOGIT 10MG TABLET

MOGIT 10MG TABLET is a GI medicine primarily used to treat the disorders associated with reduced gastrointestinal motility. It is used in the treatment of nighttime heartburn, which mostly occurs due to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Gastroesophageal reflux disease is a condition that occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the food pipe (oesophagus). This backflow (acid reflux) irritates the food pipe and causes heartburn. 

MOGIT 10MG TABLET contains Cisapride, which belongs to the class of gastroprokinetic agents. It works by increasing the release of certain chemicals, which helps improve food movement inside the intestine. Thus, gastric emptying of liquid and solid from the intestine increases.

MOGIT 10MG TABLET may cause certain side effects such as dizziness, headache, nausea, diarrhoea, dry mouth, abdominal pain, headache, insomnia (difficulty sleeping), unusual tiredness and weakness. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, if these side effects persist for a longer period, talk to your doctor. MOGIT 10MG TABLET should be taken as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take more than the prescribed dose of medicine, nor skip it. However, if you miss a dose of MOGIT 10MG TABLET, take it as soon as you remember. If it is time for your next dose, skip the missed dose, but do not double it.

MOGIT 10MG TABLET should be avoided if you are allergic to it. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medicines to rule out any side effects. Let your doctor know if you have any history of liver/kidney disease, intestinal bleeding, heart disease, lung disease, irregular heartbeat, abnormal ECG, persistent vomiting, low potassium/magnesium levels, and anorexia (eating disorder) before taking MOGIT 10MG TABLET. Avoid driving and operating machines, as it can make you feel dizzy or sleepy. MOGIT 10MG TABLET is not recommended for use in children as safety has not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol and smoking while on treatment with MOGIT 10MG TABLET as it could lead to increased drowsiness and can elevate stomach acid production. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, inform your doctor before taking MOGIT 10MG TABLET.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD): The stomach is usually protected from acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, the mucous layer gets eroded due to excess acid production, which leads to complications like acidity, GERD, heartburn, peptic ulcer, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a condition that occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the food pipe (oesophagus). This backflow (acid reflux) irritates the food pipe and causes heartburn.
