Motilon Tablet 10 mg

Motilon Tablet by Synovia Pharma PLC contains Metoclopramide Hydrochloride 10 mg, a prokinetic agent used for gastrointestinal disorders. Priced at ৳0.34 per unit (50×10 strips: ৳170), it offers an affordable solution for acid reflux and diabetic gastroparesis. Store at 20-25°C, protected from light, to maintain efficacy.

This tablet treats gastroesophageal reflux in adults unresponsive to standard therapy (4-12 weeks) and manages acute/recurrent diabetic gastroparesis. By blocking dopamine receptors and enhancing gut motility, it accelerates gastric emptying without stimulating secretions.

Dosage varies by condition:

• GERD: 10-15 mg before meals/bedtime (max 60 mg/day)
• Diabetic Gastroparesis: 10 mg before meals/bedtime (max 40 mg/day)

Avoid in elderly patients unless switching from stable IV therapy.

Common side effects (≥5%) include altered taste, headache, and fatigue. Pregnancy Category B – use cautiously despite animal study safety. Nursing mothers should consult doctors as metoclopramide enters breast milk.
