Ganaton (Itopride) 50mg Tablet, 30s

Ganaton contains itopride, a prokinetic that helps the stomach move food along and empty more normally. Doctors prescribe it for functional dyspepsia: upper tummy discomfort with bloating, feeling full quickly, belching, nausea or heartburn when no other cause is found.

Each box has 30 tablets of 50 mg.

Prescription medicine. A CAREPLUS doctor reviews your order before it is dispensed.

Usually 1 tablet three times a day, before meals, or as your doctor advises.

Swallow with water. Your doctor will usually review you after 2 to 4 weeks.

Usually well tolerated. Possible side effects: diarrhoea, stomach pain, headache, dizziness and rash. Rarely, it can raise the hormone prolactin, causing breast tenderness or discharge; tell the doctor if this happens.

• Not for people with bleeding, blockage or a tear in the stomach or bowel.
• Tell the doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, elderly, or have kidney or liver problems.
• See a doctor first for red-flag symptoms: vomiting blood, black stools, difficulty swallowing, weight loss, or new symptoms after age 45.
