Alfapride-25 Tab

Alfapride-25 Tab belongs to a group of medicines called 'prokinetics, psycholeptic and antipsychotics' used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), dyspepsia (indigestion). Additionally, Alfapride-25 Tab is also used to treat psychotic disorders like somatic symptom disorders and chronic schizophrenia with negative symptoms. 

Alfapride-25 Tab contains 'Levosulpiride' which increases the pressure of the inferior oesophagal (food pipe) sphincter, thereby preventing the backflow of food and acid from the stomach into the mouth. Alfapride-25 Tab increases gastrointestinal motility without disrupting their rhythm, thereby helps in treating indigestion. Alfapride-25 Tab works by blocking the effects of chemical receptors in the brain such as dopamine, thereby helps in improving mood, behaviour and thoughts. 

You are advised to take Alfapride-25 Tab for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as dizziness, sleepiness, weakness, and vertigo (spinning sensation).
