Product Introduction
Acotrust Tablet is a gastroprokinetic medication belonging to the class of prokinetic agents. It contains the active ingredient Acotiamide and is used to treat gastrointestinal conditions, primarily functional dyspepsia. Functional dyspepsia is a common digestive disorder characterised by chronic or recurrent upper abdominal discomfort or pain, often accompanied by symptoms such as bloating, early satiety (feeling full quickly after eating), and nausea. It is a condition in which no underlying structural or metabolic cause can be identified.
Do not use this medication if you have a known allergy or sensitivity to Acotiamide or any components in the formulation. No clinical study has been conducted on the safety of Acotrust Tablet in pregnant women or those who are breastfeeding. Patients with severe kidney impairment may require adjusted dosages or closer monitoring when taking this medication. The safety and effectiveness of this medicine in children and infants have not been established. Acotrust Tablet is prescribed for adults, and use in paediatric populations may require careful consideration and monitoring. Acotrust Tablet pricing varies by retailer and location.
