About Purerab IT Capsule

Purerab IT Capsule is used in the treatment of disorders associated with reduced gastrointestinal motility. Besides this, Purerab IT Capsule also treats gastrointestinal disorders like dyspepsia (indigestion), bloating (feeling of stomach tightness due to gas), upper abdominal pain, anorexia (eating disorder), heartburn, nausea and vomiting.

Purerab IT Capsule contains 'Itopride,' which works by increasing the level of acetylcholine concentration, which in turn increases the gastrointestinal peristalsis movement, thereby accelerating gastric emptying time and easing the movement of food through the entire gastrointestinal tract.

In some cases, you may experience diarrhoea, stomach pain, headache, dry mouth or drowsiness. Most of these side effects of Purerab IT Capsule do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are known to be allergic to Purerab IT Capsule or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. Purerab IT Capsule is not recommended for children below 16 years of age. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please inform your doctor before taking Purerab IT Capsule. If you have Parkinson's disease or internal bleeding of the stomach and intestine, please consult a doctor before taking Purerab IT Capsule.
