Gastric Motility Enhancement: Itopride Hydrochloride enhances gastrointestinal motility by increasing the release of acetylcholine.
Increased Gastric Pepsin Activity: The drug inhibits the secretion of somatostatin by D cells, indirectly stimulating the release of gastrin by E cells, which in turn prompts G cells to release pepsinogen, converting it into active pepsin, thereby facilitating the digestion of protein in food.
Improved Digestion and Absorption: By directly acting on smooth muscles and relieving their spasms, Itopride Hydrochloride promotes gastrointestinal motility, accelerates food emptying, and thus improves digestive function.
Relief of Abdominal Bloating: By stimulating upper gastrointestinal motility, Itopride Hydrochloride improves postprandial symptoms in patients with functional dyspepsia, such as abdominal bloating and belching.
Antiemetic Effect: Itopride Hydrochloride can selectively block central dopamine receptors, reducing the frequency of nausea and vomiting.
