Product Details

Pridex Tablets 25mg contain levosulpiride, a selective antagonist at dopamine D2 receptors. This medication works by modulating both central and peripheral nervous systems, which helps in regulating the digestive processes. By affecting dopamine pathways, Pridex helps manage symptoms associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Purposes

Pridex Tablets 25mg are indicated for:

• Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): Helps manage symptoms of GERD by influencing digestive tract motility and acid reflux.

Warnings

Pridex Tablets 25mg should be used with caution in the following situations:

• Epilepsy: Not recommended for individuals with epilepsy as it may trigger seizures.
• Breast Cancer: Avoid use if you have breast cancer, as levosulpiride can elevate prolactin levels, potentially worsening the condition.
