About MOTIZA 50MG TABLET

MOTIZA 50MG TABLET belongs to a class of drugs called 'gastroprokinetic agent, gastrokinetic agent or propulsive' primarily used in treating the disorders associated with reduced gastrointestinal motility. Besides this, MOTIZA 50MG TABLET also treats gastrointestinal disorders like dyspepsia (indigestion), bloating (feeling of stomach tightness due to gas), upper abdominal pain, anorexia (eating disorder), heartburn, nausea and vomiting. In the normal digestion condition, the food is moved through the entire digestive tract (food pipe, stomach, small intestine and large intestine) by a rhythmic contraction, i.e. peristalsis movement. This regular movement of the digestive tract is called 'gastric motility.' When an individual suffers from a digestive motility problem, these digestive tract contractions do not work properly, leading to various gastrointestinal issues.

MOTIZA 50MG TABLET contains 'Itopride Hydrochloride' that increases the level of acetylcholine concentration, increasing the Gastrointestinal peristalsis movement, thereby accelerating gastric emptying time and easing the movement of food through the entire gastrointestinal tract. MOTIZA 50MG TABLET also stops the sensation of vomiting/nausea by blocking the D2 receptors located in the chemoreceptor trigger zone - CTZ of the brain responsible for inducing vomiting.

Your doctor will advise you on how often you take your pills based on your medical condition. You may sometimes experience diarrhoea, stomach pain, headache, tremor (involuntary movement) and drowsiness. Most of these side effects of MOTIZA 50MG TABLET do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are known to be allergic to MOTIZA 50MG TABLET or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. MOTIZA 50MG TABLET is not recommended for children below 16 years of age. If pregnant or breastfeeding, please inform your doctor before taking the MOTIZA 50MG TABLET. If you have Parkinson's disease or internal bleeding of the stomach and intestine, please consult a doctor before taking MOTIZA 50MG TABLET. If you notice dark, coffee-coloured stools or blood in stools, contact your doctor immediately, as these might be signs of bleeding in the stomach.

Uses of MOTIZA 50MG TABLET

Heartburn, Nausea, Vomiting, Bloating, Upper abdominal pain or discomfort

Medicinal Benefits

MOTIZA 50MG TABLET is a gastroprokinetic agent (enhances the movement of food from the mouth through the stomach and intestines) that is used for treating gastrointestinal symptoms such as heartburn, vomiting, nausea, bloating (stomach feels swollen due to build-up of gas), non-ulcer dyspepsia (indigestion), discomfort or pain in the abdomen. MOTIZA 50MG TABLET prevents heartburn by enhancing the movement of food through the stomach and intestines.
