SCIPRIDE 50MG TAB

Levosulpiride’s primary mechanism of action is as a selective antagonist of dopamine D2 and D3 receptors, primarily in the gastrointestinal tract and central nervous system. It preferentially binds to presynaptic autoreceptors, leading to a decrease in dopamine release. In the gastrointestinal tract, this action reduces dopamine-mediated inhibition of gastric motility and increases gastric, biliary, and pancreatic secretions, enhancing gastrointestinal motility and digestive processes. In the central nervous system, levosulpiride’s action on dopamine receptors may contribute to its effects on nausea and vomiting by influencing the chemoreceptor trigger zone. Additionally, it may have indirect effects on other neurotransmitter systems, such as serotonin and acetylcholine, which could further contribute to its therapeutic actions.
