Perinorm CD Capsule

PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

Perinorm CD Capsule is a widely used prescription medication designed to address specific gastrointestinal issues. It is primarily indicated for managing symptoms related to delayed gastric emptying and conditions where the digestive system’s motility needs improvement. The active ingredient in Perinorm CD is metoclopramide, a prokinetic agent that works by enhancing the movements of the stomach and intestines, facilitating smooth digestion, and preventing nausea or vomiting.

This medication is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing complications associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), diabetic gastroparesis, or post-operative nausea and vomiting. With its extended-release formula, Perinorm CD ensures prolonged relief and effective management of symptoms throughout the day.
