Used For:

Levosulpiride is primarily used to treat gastrointestinal disorders and, in some cases, psychiatric conditions. Common uses include:

  1. Gastrointestinal Issues:

    • Functional dyspepsia: Indigestion or discomfort in the upper abdomen.
    • Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): Alleviates symptoms like bloating, pain, and constipation.
    • Gastroparesis: A condition where the stomach empties slowly, leading to nausea and vomiting.

  2. Psychiatric Disorders (at higher doses):

    • Schizophrenia: Used as an adjunct to antipsychotic treatment.
    • Depression: In some cases, used for treatment-resistant depression, although it is not a first-line therapy.

Side Effects:

  • Gastrointestinal:

    • Nausea
    • Abdominal cramps or discomfort
    • Diarrhea or constipation

  • Nervous System:

    • Dizziness
    • Headache
    • Sleepiness or drowsiness (sedation)

  • Hormonal Effects (rare but significant at higher doses):

    • Galactorrhea (milk production)
    • Gynecomastia (breast enlargement in men)
    • Menstrual disturbances (in women)

  • Cardiovascular:

    • Increased heart rate (tachycardia) or low blood pressure (hypotension).

Precautions:

  1. Medical History:

    • Inform your doctor if you have:
      • Liver or kidney disease (dosing adjustments may be needed).
      • Heart disease or low blood pressure.
      • Movement disorders like Parkinson’s disease.
      • Seizure disorders.

  2. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding:

    • Use with caution during pregnancy; consult your doctor.
    • Avoid during breastfeeding, as levosulpiride may be excreted in breast milk and affect the infant.

  3. Drug Interactions:

    • Levosulpiride can interact with antidepressants, antipsychotics, or other dopamine-blocking agents, potentially leading to enhanced sedative effects or movement disorders.
    • It may also interact with antacids or dopamine agonists.

  4. Sedation Risk:

    • It can cause drowsiness or sedation, so avoid driving or operating heavy machinery if affected.
