Pregnancy Interaction
- Levogastrol 25mg Tablet is a dopamine D2 receptor antagonist utilized for gastrointestinal and specific psychiatric disorders.
- There is little information on how it affects pregnant women. Animal studies do not provide definitive proof of prenatal injury; therefore, caution is recommended.
- Only use it if a doctor says you need it and the benefits outweigh the hazards.
- Levogastrol 25mg Tablet goes into breast milk and may raise prolactin levels in both the mother and the baby. Because of this, it should not be used during breastfeeding unless a doctor says it is okay.

How It Works
- Levogastrol 25mg Tablet is a selective antagonist of the dopamine D2 receptor.
- It stops dopamine from working in the brain and digestive system, which has two main effects:
- Prokinetic effect: It makes the intestines move, helps the stomach empty, and stops reflux.
- Antipsychotic and antidepressant effects: It boosts the production of acetylcholine and changes the balance of dopamine in the brain, which makes mood and anxiety symptoms better.
Medicine Interaction
- Do not use with:
- Antipsychotics, such Haloperidol and Risperidone, may make adverse effects like tremors or stiffness worse.
- Antidepressants (such Fluoxetine and Sertraline) can mess up the equilibrium of serotonin in the brain.
- Antihypertensives or sedatives: These can make you very sleepy or lower your blood pressure.
- Alcohol: Makes you more dizzy and sleepy.
- Levodopa or dopamine agonists: work against the effects of Levosulpiride.
- Always tell your doctor about any medications or supplements you are taking.
How to Use
- Take one tablet (25 mg) or as your doctor tells you to, usually one to two times a day before meals.
- Do not crush or chew; just swallow with a full glass of water.
- Take it at the same time every day for the best results.
