Description:

 

Faspride 25mg Capsules contain Levosulpiride, a substituted benzamide antipsychotic and prokinetic agent. It is primarily used for the treatment of functional dyspepsia, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and certain psychiatric disorders such as depression with somatic symptoms and schizophrenia. Levosulpiride works by selectively blocking dopamine D2 receptors in both the central nervous system and the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in improved GI motility and mood regulation.
