VOLAPRIDE 25MG TABLET

VOLAPRIDE 25MG TABLET 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, VOLAPRIDE 25MG TABLET is also used to treat psychotic disorders like somatic symptom disorders and chronic schizophrenia with negative symptoms. 

VOLAPRIDE 25MG TABLET 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. VOLAPRIDE 25MG TABLET increases gastrointestinal motility without disrupting their rhythm, thereby helps in treating indigestion. VOLAPRIDE 25MG TABLET works by blocking the effects of chemical receptors in the brain such as dopamine, thereby helps in improving mood, behaviour and thoughts.
