Levopride-Plus Capsule belongs to a group of medicines called 'prokinetics, psycholeptic and antipsychotics' used to treat gastro-oesophagal reflux disease (GERD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), dyspepsia (indigestion). Levopride-Plus Capsule increases the pressure of the inferior oesophagal sphincter, thereby preventing the backflow of food and acid from the stomach into the mouth. This helps in treating gastro-oesophagal acid reflux (GERD). Levopride-Plus Capsule increases gastrointestinal motility by enhancing the strength of contractions without disrupting their rhythm, thereby helps in treating indigestion. Additionally, Levopride-Plus Capsule is also used to treat somatic symptom disorders and chronic schizophrenia with negative symptoms. Levopride-Plus Capsule works by blocking the effects of chemical receptors in the brain such as dopamine, thereby helps in improving mood, behaviour and thoughts.
