Mechanism of action

Mosapride selectively binds to and activates 5-HT4 (serotonin-4) receptors in the gastrointestinal tract, which increases acetylcholine release and enhances smooth muscle contractions in the stomach. This promotes more efficient gastric emptying and improves overall gastric motility, helping to relieve symptoms associated with functional dyspepsia and gastroesophageal reflux.
