It inhibits the dopamine D2 receptor at the parasympathetic nerve ends.It increases the release of acetycholine and decreases the metabolism of acetylcholine by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE). By maintaining higher acetylcholine levels, itopride increases the oesophageal and gastrointestinal peristalsis, increases the lower oesophageal sphincter pressure, stimulates gastric motility, accelerates gastric emptying and improves gastro-duodenal coordination. Itopride exerts anti-emetic actions because of its dopamine D2 receptor antagonistic action at CTZ.

About Methyl PolysiloxaneSiloxanes, Antiflatulent.Mechanism of Action of Methyl PolysiloxaneMethyl Polysiloxane relieves flatulence by dispensing and preventing formation of mucus surrounding gas pockets in the gastro-intestinal tract. It lowers the surface tension of the gas bubbles and bringing together all the small bubbles of gas (coalesce) to form a large bubble, which is then expelled. Thus the gas is freed by belching or passing flatus.
Antiflatulents are added to an antacid gum coating to be effective antigas materials and eliminate trapped gas.Pharmacokinets of Methyl PolysiloxaneN/AOnset of Action for Methyl PolysiloxaneN/ADuration of Action for Methyl PolysiloxaneN/AHalf Life of Methyl PolysiloxaneN/ASide Effects of Methyl PolysiloxaneN/AContra-indications of Methyl PolysiloxaneHypersensitivity to Methyl PolysiloxaneSpecial Precautions while taking Methyl PolysiloxaneKidney failurePregnancy Related InformationN/AOld Age Related InformationN/ABreast Feeding Related InformationN/AChildren Related InformationN/AIndications for Methyl Polysiloxane1.
