Levosulpiride [RV 12309, L-sulpiride, levosulpride, Dislep® 25, Levopride®, Levopraid®] is a potent dopamine D2 receptor blocker that was originated by Ravizza Farmaceutici (now AbbVie). Levosulpiride is the levo enantiomer of sulpiride. The levo enantiomer shows better/similar pharmacological actions and lower incidence of toxic effects than both dextro as well as the racemic forms of the drug. Levosulpiride is marketed in Italy and South Korea, and is possibly available elsewhere in Europe and Asia. Levosulpiride does not appear to be available in North America. Levosulpiride is available as 25mg tablets, drops and in ampoules for parenteral administration. Generic versions of levosulpiride also appear to be available in some countries. Levosulpiride is primarily indicated in conditions like Anxiety, Depression, Gastro-esophageal reflux disease, Irritable bowel syndrome, Schizophrenia, Tourette's syndrome, dyspeptic syndrome, essential cephalgia, and can also be given in adjunctive therapy as an alternative drug of choice in Peptic ulcer, Vertigo.
