Gfast-50 Tab belongs to a class of drugs called 'gastroprokinetics' primarily used in the treatment of the disorders associated with reduced gastrointestinal motility. Besides this, Gfast-50 Tab 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. In the normal condition of digestion, the food is moved through the entire digestive tract (food pipe, stomach, small intestine and large intestine) by a rhythmic contraction, i.e. peristalsis movement. This regular movement of the digestive tract is called 'gastric motility.' When an individual suffers from a digestive motility problem, these contractions of the digestive tract do not work properly, leading to a variety of gastrointestinal issues. 

Gfast-50 Tab contains 'Itopride' that works by increasing the level of acetylcholine concentration which in turn increases the Gastrointestinal peristalsis movement thereby, accelerating gastric emptying time and eases the movement of food through the entire gastrointestinal tract. Gfast-50 Tab also stops the sensation of vomiting/nausea by blocking the D2 receptors located in the chemoreceptor trigger zone - CTZ of the brain responsible for inducing vomiting.

Gfast-50 Tab is a gastroprokinetics (enhance the movement of food from mouth through stomach and intestines) that is used for treating gastrointestinal symptoms such as heartburn, vomiting, nausea, bloating (stomach feels swollen due to build-up of gas), non-ulcer dyspepsia (indigestion), discomfort or pain in the stomach. Gfast-50 Tab prevents heartburn by enhancing the movement of food through stomach and intestines. Also, Gfast-50 Tab acts on chemoreceptor trigger zone (area that triggers vomiting) in the brain and prevents vomiting.

Patients with reduced kidney or liver functions should be monitored carefully and dose should be adjusted accordingly. Gfast-50 Tab may be excreted in breast milk.

If you notice dark, coffee coloured stools or blood in stools, contact your doctor immediately as these might be signs of bleeding in stomach. Do not take Gfast-50 Tab if you have increased gastrointestinal haemorrhage (internal bleeding of intestine and stomach), gastrointestinal motility (movement of food from mouth through stomach and intestine), mechanical perforation or obstruction as it may worsen the condition.
