Itopride Hydrochloride is a drug that is often prescribed to help regulate stomach movement and relieve symptoms related to impaired gastric motility.

This medicine works by increasing the levels of acetylcholine, a natural substance that helps stimulate stomach movement. It helps to improve gastric emptying and coordination of stomach muscles. It also has anti-nausea effects due to its action on specific brain receptors.
