Choice of an efficient and safe prokinetic: focus on itoprid hydrochloride

Keywords: prokinetics, functional dyspepsia, gastroesophageal reflux disease, itoprid hydrochloride

Dysmotility of various parts of a digestive tract is of major importance in pathogenesis of many digestive apparatus diseases. To consider the prokinetic itoprid hydrochloride from the point of view of efficiency and medicamental safety. Currently itoprid hydrochloride has demonstrated high potency in curing functional dyspepsia and gastroesophageal reflux disease. Numerous studies prove the efficiency of the medication in curing other digestive apparatus diseases. Itoprid hydrochloride stands out from other prokinetics due to three major characteristics: it has a double mechanism of action, it has no drug interaction and no serious side effects.
