Itopride also exhibits dopamine D2 receptor antagonism and acetylcholinesterase inhibition, contributing to its prokinetic effects without significant central nervous system side effects.
The drug is generally well-tolerated, with mild adverse effects such as headache, diarrhea, or dizziness reported occasionally. It is important to use Ganaton OD Capsule SR under medical supervision, especially in patients with known allergies to Itopride or those with gastrointestinal bleeding, obstruction, or perforation.
