Gastroplus capsules combine two active ingredients that work together to manage upper gastrointestinal symptoms. Esomeprazole reduces stomach acid production by inhibiting the proton pumps responsible for acid secretion. Itopride hydrochloride promotes gastrointestinal movement, helping the stomach empty more efficiently.
This combination may be prescribed for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), functional dyspepsia and symptoms such as heartburn, post-meal fullness, bloating and upper abdominal discomfort. Use should be guided by a healthcare professional.
