Lepiride-50

LEPIRIDE-50 is a prokinetic agent used to treat digestive motility disorders. It enhances the movement of the stomach and intestines, providing relief from bloating, nausea, and upper abdominal discomfort.

Each tablet contains 50mg of Levosulpiride, an atypical antipsychotic that, at low doses, acts as a potent prokinetic by modulating dopamine receptors in the gut.

It works by increasing the release of acetylcholine in the digestive tract. This accelerates the movement of food through the stomach and intestines, preventing the delays that cause indigestion and heaviness.
