Moza 5 Mg

Moza 5 mg Tablet: Detailed Overview

Moza 5 mg Tablet is a prescription medication containing Mosapride Citrate, a gastroprokinetic agent that enhances gastrointestinal motility. It is primarily used to treat conditions like Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), gastroparesis, and functional dyspepsia. By stimulating the 5-HT₄ receptors in the gastrointestinal tract, Mosapride increases the release of acetylcholine, which in turn enhances the motility of the stomach and intestines.
