Mosapride

Mosapride is a prokinetic agent used to improve gastrointestinal motility.

It works by stimulating serotonin receptors in the digestive tract, improving the movement of food and reducing acid reflux. Mosapride is commonly prescribed to individuals suffering from slow digestion or acid reflux symptoms. It should be taken under medical supervision for optimal results.
