Ritor Tablets Uses

Ritor Tablets Benefits
- Speeds up stomach emptying so meals sit lighter
- Reduces post meal heaviness common with a heavy Pakistani diet
- Improves appetite by easing chronic fullness
Gastroenterologists in Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad and Rawalpindi commonly prescribe Ritor for patients with recurring bloating after oily and spicy meals.
Itopride blocks dopamine receptors in the gut wall and raises acetylcholine levels. This combination pushes food through the stomach faster and calms nausea.
Ritor works best when taken before meals. Anyone with stomach bleeding or a bowel blockage should avoid it and consult a doctor first.
