Pack Size: 20s

Manufactured By: Akhai Pharmaceuticals

Used For:

  • Gastrointestinal Disorders: Levosulpiride is commonly prescribed for conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), dyspepsia (indigestion), and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) to improve stomach emptying and reduce nausea.
  • Depression and Anxiety: It is sometimes used as an adjunct treatment in mild-to-moderate depression, anxiety, and somatic symptom disorders.
  • Schizophrenia and Other Psychotic Disorders: In some cases, it is prescribed for short-term management of psychotic symptoms, although it’s less common than other antipsychotic medications for this purpose.

Side Effects:

Common side effects include:

  • Drowsiness or sedation
  • Dizziness or lightheadedness
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Increased salivation
  • Diarrhea

Other possible side effects (less common) include:

  • Weight gain
  • Menstrual irregularities: Due to increased prolactin levels, which can lead to galactorrhea (breast milk production) or amenorrhea (absence of menstruation).
  • Breast tenderness or enlargement in both men and women (gynecomastia)
  • Movement disorders: Like tremors, muscle stiffness, or restlessness (extrapyramidal symptoms), especially with prolonged use.

Precautions:

  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Levosulpiride should be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding only if absolutely necessary, as it may affect the baby. Consult your doctor before use.
  • Kidney and liver function: Patients with liver or kidney issues should use levosulpiride with caution, as it may require dose adjustments.
  • Prolactin levels: Levosulpiride may increase prolactin levels, leading to hormonal side effects (e.g., menstrual irregularities, breast changes). Patients with prolactin-dependent conditions should use it with caution.
  • Movement disorders: Those with a history of movement disorders or Parkinson’s disease should use levosulpiride cautiously, as it can increase the risk of extrapyramidal symptoms.
  • Driving and machinery: Levosulpiride may cause drowsiness or dizziness, so avoid activities requiring full alertness, like driving, until you know how it affects you.
