Product Details

Tespral 50mg contains Itopride Hydrochloride, a medication designed to enhance gastrointestinal motility. Itopride works through its dopamine D2 antagonistic and acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activities, which increases the release of acetylcholine and inhibits its degradation. This mechanism improves gastrointestinal propulsion and can help alleviate discomfort associated with digestive disorders.

Purposes

Tespral 50mg is used to treat gastrointestinal symptoms associated with functional nonulcer dyspepsia. This includes conditions such as bloating, early satiety, upper abdominal pain or discomfort, anorexia, heartburn, nausea, and vomiting. By promoting better motility in the digestive tract, Tespral helps to relieve these symptoms and improve overall digestive function.

Warnings

Use Tespral 50mg with caution, especially in patients with conditions that could be exacerbated by increased gastrointestinal motility, such as gastrointestinal hemorrhage, mechanical obstruction, or perforation. The dosage may need to be adjusted based on the patient’s age and symptoms. There are no well-controlled studies on the use of Itopride hydrochloride during pregnancy, so it should only be used if the benefits outweigh potential risks.

Adverse Effects

Common adverse effects of Tespral 50mg include dizziness, headache, and tremor. Gastrointestinal disturbances such as diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain may also occur. Less frequent but more severe side effects can include blood disorders like leukopenia and thrombocytopenia, immune system reactions such as anaphylactoid reactions, and hepatic issues like jaundice. Skin reactions, including rash and itching, may also be experienced.

Cautions

Tespral 50mg may enhance acetylcholine's action, which can lead to cholinergic side effects. It is essential to monitor for such effects and adjust treatment as needed. Patients with known hypersensitivity to Itopride hydrochloride or its excipients should avoid this medication. Additionally, Tespral should be used with care in individuals with conditions where increased gastrointestinal motility might be harmful.
