Urinary retention

Gastric retention
Gastric retention occurs when there is delayed gastric emptying, causing your stomach to take too long to empty its contents. It may occur due to surgery, gastrointestinal obstruction (a blockage that keeps food or liquid from passing through your small intestine or large intestine), severe colitis (swelling in the large intestine), etc. Roliten OD 4 Capsule is not recommended for use if you have stomach disorders resulting in gastric retention as this medicine can further delay gastric emptying, resulting in worsening of your condition.
