Ganaton Tablet 10

Ganaton tablet is used to treat nausea and vomiting from functional dyspepsia and improve delayed gastric emptying in gastroparesis. It is also used to relieve heartburn caused by acid reflux and help increase appetite in anorexia by reducing stomach fullness.

Follow the directions provided by your pharmacist or doctor for using a Ganaton tablet. Below are the general instructions for reference. 

• Take the tablet with a glass of water.
• Swallow the tablet as a whole, do not crush or chew it.
• This medication can be taken with or without, but taking it at a fixed time is advisable.

• Ganaton 50 mg tablets can be taken orally.

• Ganaton 50 mg has a dual medical action which gives it the effective gastro-prokinetic property, i.e., characteristic wave-like movements in the oesophagus, gastric motility and emptying of the stomach. 
• The medicinal activity of this tablet is exerted through two main mechanisms. The first action is seen in the upper digestive tract, particularly the oesophagus and stomach, where the D2 receptors are located. Dopamine (D2) is a chemical substance that inhibits or stops the motility of the gastrointestinal tract. Ganaton 50 mg acts as an inhibitory or antagonistic on the dopamine-sensitive areas, thereby causing enhanced motility.
• The second mechanism of action is the inhibition of the acetylcholinesterase enzyme, which helps regulate the levels of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is a chemical substance which is involved in muscle contractions for the movement of muscle. It causes increased motility/motion of the oesophagus and stomach. The inhibition of acetylcholinesterase leads to the accumulation of acetylcholine in the gap between two neurons, which helps to achieve the desired motility of the stomach. 

• Store Ganaton 50 mg tablets at room temperature below 30 ºC.
• Protect them from light and moisture. 
• Keep Ganaton tablets away from the reach of children.

• If you have any intolerance to sugar, then use Ganaton with caution, as they contain lactose. It is recommended to consult your doctor for guidance in such cases.
• Gastric emptying can be harmful if you suffer from gastrointestinal bleeding, obstruction or perforation. 
• The effect of this medicine can be seen within 30-60 minutes.
