Product Overview
Moza Tablet contains Mosapride Citrate, a gastroprokinetic agent used to improve gastrointestinal motility. It is commonly prescribed for conditions associated with delayed gastric emptying and functional dyspepsia, helping relieve symptoms such as bloating, early satiety, and abdominal discomfort.
Mechanism Insights (How It Works)
- Serotonin Receptor Stimulation
Mosapride selectively activates 5-HT4 receptors in the gastrointestinal tract, which enhances the release of acetylcholine in the enteric nervous system. - Improved Gastric Motility
Increased acetylcholine activity strengthens coordinated contractions of stomach and intestinal muscles, promoting faster gastric emptying. - Symptom Relief
By improving movement of food through the digestive tract, it helps reduce symptoms such as bloating, fullness, nausea, and upper abdominal discomfort.
