MOSIBA TABLET

MOSIBA TABLET contains a class of medicines known as 'gastrointestinal agents,' primarily used to treat gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (reflux of gastric contents into the oesophagus). Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a condition that occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the food pipe (oesophagus). This backflow (acid reflux) irritates the food pipe and causes heartburn. 

MOSIBA TABLET contains Mosapride, primarily used to treat GERD (gastro-oesophageal reflux disease). It works by increasing the release of certain chemicals (acetylcholine), which helps improve food movement inside the intestine. Thus, gastric emptying of both liquid and solid from the intestine is increased.

Take MOSIBA TABLET as prescribed. Depending on your medical condition, you are advised to take MOSIBA TABLET for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as dizziness, headache, nausea, diarrhoea, dry mouth, abdominal pain, headache, insomnia (difficulty sleeping), unusual tiredness and weakness. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Inform your doctor before taking MOSIBA TABLET if you have a stomach or intestine tumour, liver or kidney disease, or intestinal bleeding. Do not take MOSIBA TABLET if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. MOSIBA TABLET may cause dizziness and sleepiness, so drive only if you are alert. MOSIBA TABLET should not be given to children as safety has not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol and grapefruit juice along with MOSIBA TABLET as it could lead to increased drowsiness and can elevate stomach acid production. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medicines to rule out any side effects.

MOSIBA TABLET contains a class of medicines known as 'gastrointestinal agents,' containing Mosapride, primarily used to treat gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (reflux of gastric contents into the oesophagus). It is basically a gastroprokinetic agent that increases gastrointestinal motility. It works by increasing the release of certain chemicals (acetylcholine), which helps improve food movement inside the intestine. Thus, gastric emptying of both liquid and solid from the intestine is increased.

Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medicines to rule out any side effects. MOSIBA TABLET should be taken with caution in elderly patients as they are more prone to adverse effects of the MOSIBA TABLET so dose adjustment might be required. If you have gastrointestinal bleeding, please do not take MOSIBA TABLET as it might increase your bleeding and lead to bloody or coffee-coloured stools.

Drug-Drug Interactions: MOSIBA TABLET may have interaction with antibiotics (erythromycin), anti-fungal (ketoconazole), anti-malarial (quinine), heart medicines (amiodarone, sotalol), anti-psychotic (haloperidol), antihistamine (terfenadine).

Drug-Food Interactions: Avoid smoking, grapefruit juice and alcohol consumption. Alcohol intake leads to increased production of stomach acid, thereby increasing acidity and heartburn.

Drug-Disease Interactions: MOSIBA TABLET may have interactions with liver, kidney or heart disorders, respiratory disorders (hypercapnia (too much carbon-di-oxide in the bloodstream) and hypoxemia (low level of oxygen in bloodstream)), gastrointestinal bleeding, any obstruction in the intestine, stomach or intestine tumour.

• ERYTHROMYCIN
• KETOCONAZOLE
• QUINIDINE
• AMIDODARONE
• SOTALOL
• HALOPERIDOL
• TERFENADINE

• Eat smaller meals more often.
• Avoid smoking and alcohol consumption. Alcohol intake leads to increased production of stomach acid, thereby increasing acidity and heartburn.
• Maintain a healthy weight by regular exercising.
• Avoid lying down after eating to prevent acid reflux.
• Avoid tight-fitting clothes as it might increase the pressure on the abdomen leading to acid reflux.
• Practice relaxation techniques and avoid stress by doing yoga or meditation.
• Avoid foods such as high-fat, spicy chocolates, citrus fruits, pineapple, tomato, onion, garlic, tea and soda.
• Avoid sitting continuously, as it may trigger acidity. Take a break of 5 minutes every hour by brisk walking or stretching.

• Close monitoring of heart functions is required if you have any heart disease and are taking MOSIBA TABLET.
• Avoid consumption of grapefruit juice and alcohol while taking MOSIBA TABLET.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD): The stomach is usually protected from acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, the mucous layer gets eroded due to excess acid production, which leads to complications like acidity, GERD, heartburn, peptic ulcer, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a condition that occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the food pipe (oesophagus). This backflow (acid reflux) irritates the food pipe and causes heartburn.
