What Experts Say

Levosulpiride helps the stomach and upper gut empty more efficiently and reduces nausea signals, easing bloating, fullness and indigestion after meals.

It is usually taken shortly before meals so it can act as food enters the stomach, and many people notice improvement in bloating and discomfort within days.

Because it also affects hormone and mood pathways in the brain, it can occasionally cause drowsiness, breast tenderness or menstrual changes, which should be reported to a doctor. It is best used for a limited period rather than continuously.
