What Experts Say

Levosulpiride is a selective dopamine D2 and D3 receptor antagonist that acts primarily on presynaptic autoreceptors in the gastrointestinal tract and central nervous system. By blocking dopamine-mediated inhibition, it enhances gastric motility and intestinal movement. This dual action makes it effective for both functional gastrointestinal disorders and mood-related conditions.

Gastroenterologists and psychiatrists recommend Levopraid for functional dyspepsia, GERD, and anxiety-related digestive symptoms. It is particularly useful when patients have concurrent gastrointestinal and psychological symptoms. The medication provides relief within 2 to 4 weeks of regular use.

Levopraid is generally taken once or twice daily based on the condition being treated. It should be taken 30 minutes before meals for optimal gastrointestinal benefits. Avoid driving if dizziness or drowsiness occurs.
