Hi,

Ganaton contains itopride which is used to treat nausea, vomiting and prevent the feeling of fullness during or shortly after meal. It is also used to treat stomach discomfort or heartburn due to excessive acid production in the stomach. Side effects of Ganaton are diarrhea, headache, dry mouth, tiredness, sleepiness, weakness, stomach pain, dizziness, fatigue, allergic reactions etc. If these side effects persist for long, then you should consult your doctor.

Nexium contains esomeprazole which is used to treat conditions caused by too much acid production in your stomach. These conditions include gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), erosive esophagitis, Zollinger-Ellision syndrome, Helicobacter pylori infections. It is also used to prevent stomach ulcers due to the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Side effects of Nexium are flatulence, stomach pain, weakness, tiredness, dizziness, headache, fatigue, sleepiness etc. If these side effects bother you for long, then you can contact your doctor for medical help.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Zubayer Alam, General And Family Physician
