How Ciniviz-OD Tablet Works?
Ciniviz-od Tablet contains Cinitapride (3 mg), which impacts your body in the following ways:
- Selective 5-HT4 receptor agonist: Cinitapride selectively stimulates 5-HT4 receptors in your body. This action triggers the release of a chemical called acetylcholine.
- 5-HT2 receptor antagonist: In addition to its agonistic action on 5-HT4 receptors, Cinitapride also blocks 5-HT2 receptors. This dual action leads to an increase in gastrointestinal motility and gastric emptying.
- Reduction of oesophagal reflux: By enhancing oesophagal and gastric peristalsis (wave-like muscle movements), it reduces reflux of stomach contents into the food pipe.
- Relief from dyspeptic symptoms: The increased motility and gastric emptying also help to relieve symptoms associated with indigestion, improving digestion.
