Cintoshel OD Tablet 10's

Cintoshel OD Tablet 10's is used to treat gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (reflux of gastric contents into the oesophagus) and symptoms of indigestion (slow gastric emptying). Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the food pipe (oesophagus). Indigestion is the feeling of stomach fullness (bloating) due to excess acid and gas formation. 

Cintoshel OD Tablet 10's contains 'Cinitapride' that increases the pressure of the inferior oesophageal sphincter, thereby preventing the back-flow of food and acid from the stomach into the mouth. This helps treat gastro-oesophageal acid reflux. Cintoshel OD Tablet 10's increases gastrointestinal motility by enhancing the strength of contractions without disrupting their rhythm, thereby helping treat indigestion and improving gastrointestinal function.
