Volapride 50mg Tablet – Levosulpiride 50mg Motility & Gastrointestinal Support in Pakistan | Caliph Pharma
Volapride 50mg Tablet by Caliph Pharma contains Levosulpiride, a selective dopamine D2 receptor antagonist and prokinetic agent used in Pakistan to improve gastrointestinal motility, relieve symptoms of dyspepsia, reflux and functional GI disorders. The 50mg strength provides convenient once-daily or twice-daily dosing (as prescribed) for adult patients.
Uses / Indications
Levosulpiride 50mg (Volapride) is commonly indicated for:
Functional dyspepsia (indigestion) with early satiety, bloating.
Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and delayed gastric emptying (gastroparesis) symptoms.
Nausea and vomiting associated with pro‐kinetic GI dysfunction.
How It Works
Levosulpiride acts primarily as a selective antagonist at dopamine D2 and D3 receptors in the gastrointestinal tract and central nervous system. By blocking D2 receptors, it removes the inhibitory influence of dopamine on gastric motility, hence enhancing gastrointestinal peristalsis and emptying.
