Mosapride
In StockMosapride is a selective 5−HT4 receptor agonist used as a prokinetic agent to treat functional dyspepsia and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It works by enhancing the release of acetylcholine at the myenteric plexus, leading to increased upper gastrointestinal motility and accelerated gastric emptying. This action reduces bloating, fullness, and reflux symptoms. Mosapride is an effective therapy for motility-related digestive discomfort.

What is Mosapride?
Mosapride is a prokinetic agent that improves the movement of the stomach and intestines. It helps food pass more easily through the digestive tract, making it useful for people experiencing delayed gastric emptying or functional dyspepsia. Mosapride tablets are commonly used to support digestive movement and may help relieve symptoms such as fullness, belching, and heartburn.
Mosapride used for
-
Functional dyspepsia (upset stomach)
-
Gastroesophageal reflux-related symptoms
-
Chronic indigestion with bloating or early satiety
-
Sluggish gastrointestinal motility
-
Nausea caused by slow stomach emptying
Chemical composition
Mosapride contains Mosapride Citrate as the active component. Excipients may include lactose-free fillers, cellulose, and binding agents depending on the tablet formulation.
Mosapride Mechanism
Mosapride works by stimulating 5-HT4 receptors in the digestive tract. When activated, these receptors increase acetylcholine release, which enhances stomach and intestinal muscle contractions. This improved movement helps food pass through the gut more efficiently and may ease symptoms linked to delayed digestion.
How does it help in digestion and gut motility?
Mosapride is used to support gastric emptying and may help manage pressure related to acid reflux. With regular use, some people may notice reduced bloating, fewer episodes of heartburn, and improved meal tolerance. It is especially helpful for people who feel full quickly or experience discomfort after eating small amounts of food.
