About this product
Overview
Pridogen 50mg Tablet contains the active ingredient Levosulpiride. It belongs to a class of medications known as atypical antipsychotics and prokinetic agents. Levosulpiride is primarily used to treat various gastrointestinal disorders and certain psychiatric conditions. It works by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain and gastrointestinal tract, leading to the normalization of dopamine levels and enhancement of gastrointestinal motility.
Uses
Pridogen 50mg Tablet is used for the management of gastrointestinal disorders such as functional dyspepsia, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It helps to alleviate symptoms such as bloating, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal discomfort by improving gastric emptying and reducing visceral hypersensitivity. Levosulpiride is also prescribed for certain psychiatric conditions, including depression and schizophrenia.
Dosage
The dosage of Pridogen 50mg Tablet is determined by the healthcare provider based on various factors such as the patient’s medical condition, age, and response to treatment. It is usually taken orally, with or without food. The tablet should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. The recommended dosage regimen may vary depending on the severity of the gastrointestinal disorder or psychiatric condition being treated.
