Overview
Abbott Ganaton 50mg Tablet contains itopride hydrochloride 50mg, a gastroprokinetic agent used to relieve symptoms of functional dyspepsia, such as bloating, early fullness after eating, upper abdominal discomfort, nausea, and loss of appetite, when these are not caused by an underlying organic disease.
Itopride works by blocking dopamine D2 receptors in the gut and inhibiting the breakdown of acetylcholine, which together increase the release of acetylcholine and strengthen coordinated stomach and upper intestinal contractions. This speeds up gastric emptying and reduces symptoms of sluggish digestion.
How it Works
Itopride combines dopamine D2 receptor antagonism with acetylcholinesterase inhibition, both of which increase acetylcholine availability at the neuromuscular junction of the stomach wall. This enhances gastric and duodenal motility and accelerates gastric emptying, relieving the sensation of fullness, bloating, and upper abdominal discomfort associated with functional dyspepsia.
Directions for Use
Take Abbott Ganaton 50mg Tablet about 30 minutes before meals, three times a day, swallowing the tablet whole with a glass of water. Taking it before eating allows the medicine to take effect by the time food reaches the stomach, which helps improve digestion and reduce bloating.
Dosage
The usual dose of Abbott Ganaton 50mg Tablet is one tablet three times daily, taken before meals, as determined by your doctor based on your symptoms and response. Your doctor will advise on the appropriate duration of treatment, which is usually short-term for symptom relief.
