1. What Cidine 1 mg Tablets are and what they are used for

Cidine belongs to a group of medications called prokinetics, which work by stimulating gastrointestinal motility.

Cidine is indicated for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux to enhance the effect of proton pump inhibitors (medications that reduce gastric acid production) and for mild to moderate functional disorders of gastrointestinal motility.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take Cidine 1 mg Tablets

  • if you are an elderly patient and take the medication for a prolonged period, as it may cause tardive dyskinesia (rapid and repetitive movements of the head, neck, trunk, or limbs that may appear months after treatment has been discontinued).

Taking Cidine 1 mg Tablets with other medications
