Clinical Overview

Levosulpiride Tablets (25mg, 50mg, 75mg) is the pure levorotatory (S)-enantiomer of sulpiride, acting as a selective dopamine D2 receptor antagonist and 5-HT4 receptor agonist. In the gastrointestinal tract, it increases lower esophageal sphincter tone and accelerates gastric emptying; centrally, it modulates mood and relieves visceral pain. Indicated for functional dyspepsia (postprandial distress syndrome), diabetic gastroparesis, and gastroesophageal reflux disease unresponsive to standard prokinetics.
