Levosulpiride works by increasing the pressure of the inferior oesophageal (food pipe) sphincter, thereby prevents backflow of food and acid into the mouth. Together, LEVOSULPIRIDE+PANTOPRAZOLE helps in preventing acid reflux, thereby provides relief from acidity and heartburn.
Pantoprazole is extensively metabolized in the liver through the cytochrome P-450 system, predominantly by CYP2C19 demethylation with subsequent sulfation and has a serum elimination half-life of about 1.1 hours. Pantoprazole does not accumulate, and its pharmacokinetics are not altered by multiple daily dosing.
Levosulpiride exhibited linear pharmacokinetic properties over the dose range of 25 to 100 mg by PO route and 25 to 75 mg by IM route. The corresponding mean AUC0-t increased from 449 to 1443 ng/h/mL and from 2874 to 7559 ng/h/mL, respectively.
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
