Introduction
In general cases, medications such as Domperidone Tablets, Mosapride Citrate Tablets, Itopride Hydrochloride Tablets, Omeprazole Enteric-coated Capsules, and Jianwei Xiaoshi Tablets may help improve gastric motility for stomach discomfort. It is recommended to use these medications under a doctor's guidance. Additionally, maintaining healthy lifestyle habits, such as eating regular meals in appropriate portions, avoiding excessive alcohol consumption and smoking, and reducing intake of spicy or irritating foods, can contribute to better stomach health.
Under normal circumstances, medications such as Domperidone Tablets, Mosapride Citrate Tablets, Itopride Hydrochloride Tablets, Omeprazole Enteric-coated Capsules, and Jianwei Xiaoshi Tablets can help promote gastric motility. It is recommended to use these medications under a doctor's guidance. If symptoms are severe, timely medical consultation and examination are advised for targeted treatment. Detailed explanations are as follows:
1. Domperidone Tablets
Domperidone Tablets are peripheral dopamine receptor antagonists that primarily act on dopamine receptors in the gastrointestinal tract. They can improve insufficient gastric motility, promote gastric emptying, and alleviate symptoms such as stomach distension and pain.
2. Mosapride Citrate Tablets
Mosapride Citrate Tablets belong to the class of gastrointestinal prokinetic agents. They can improve inadequate gastric motility and are mainly used for treating functional dyspepsia, as well as improving symptoms such as bloating or loss of appetite caused by poor intestinal motility.
3. Itopride Hydrochloride Tablets
Itopride Hydrochloride Tablets can inhibit dopamine receptors, enhance gastrointestinal motility, and also inhibit the hydrolysis of acetylcholine, thereby enhancing the effects of acetylcholine. This promotes gastric emptying and improves gastric function.
4. Omeprazole Enteric-coated Capsules
Omeprazole Enteric-coated Capsules belong to the proton pump inhibitor class of medications. Their primary function is to inhibit gastric acid secretion, reduce irritation of the gastric mucosa by gastric acid, and thereby relieve stomach pain. These capsules are commonly used in the treatment of diseases such as gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers, and reflux esophagitis.
5. Jianwei Xiaoshi Tablets
Jianwei Xiaoshi Tablets are traditional Chinese medicine preparations, with main ingredients including Pseudostellaria heterophylla (Taizishen), Tangerine Peel (Chenpi), Yam (Shanyao), etc. They aid digestion and help improve food accumulation caused by weakened spleen and stomach function, as well as loss of appetite resulting from such accumulation.
It is recommended to maintain healthy lifestyle habits, such as eating regular meals in appropriate quantities, avoiding excessive alcohol consumption and smoking, and reducing the intake of spicy or irritating foods, all of which contribute to maintaining good gastric health.
