Hello.The drugs that your doctor has given you are correct for your patology(GERD).Itopride is a drug that improves the mobility of the stomach, reducing the reflux the stomach to the esophagus.Some common adverse effects are
diarrhea,rash or tremor.
About Cardiac adverse effects, other drugs that improve mobility stomach (cisapride for example)Its use was associated with cardiac arrhythmias. Itopride could cause, rarely,cardiac arrhythmias- but not-initially-
cardiac attack.
I wish you good health.
