Description
Actapro (with the active ingredient Acotiamide 100 mg) is a medication primarily used for managing functional dyspepsia and other gastrointestinal disorders. Here’s more about it:
Composition:
Each Actapro tablet contains:
- Acotiamide 100 mg
What Acotiamide Does:
- Acotiamide is a gastroprokinetic agent. It works by improving the movement of food through the stomach and intestines, which can help relieve symptoms of functional dyspepsia (a condition characterized by discomfort or pain in the upper abdomen). Acotiamide also has antimuscarinic and antiserotonergic properties, which help regulate the contractions of the stomach and intestines.
Indications:
Actapro (Acotiamide) is typically used for:
- Functional dyspepsia: A condition with symptoms like upper abdominal discomfort, bloating, nausea, and early satiety.
- Gastric motility disorders: It can be used to improve the movement of the digestive tract in patients with delayed gastric emptying.
Dosage:
- The dosage should be determined by a physician, based on the condition being treated and individual patient needs.
- Common dosage is 100 mg, taken before meals. However, the doctor may adjust the dose based on the severity of symptoms and patient response.
- Follow the physician’s instructions on how and when to take the medication.
Side Effects:
While Acotiamide is generally well tolerated, potential side effects may include:
- Gastrointestinal effects: Mild abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, or constipation.
- Headache or dizziness.
- Allergic reactions: Skin rash, itching, or swelling (though these are rare).
Warnings and Precautions:
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Always consult your doctor before using Actapro during pregnancy or breastfeeding, as safety data may be limited.
- Gastrointestinal conditions: If you have any underlying gastrointestinal diseases, inform your doctor, as Actapro should be used with caution in such cases.
- Drug interactions: Be sure to inform your doctor of any other medications you’re taking, especially other drugs that affect gastrointestinal motility.
Storage Instructions:
- Store protected from moisture at a temperature not exceeding 30°C.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and excessive humidity
