Purposes

The primary purpose of Sulvo 50mg Tablets is to alleviate symptoms of digestive disorders, particularly gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), functional dyspepsia, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It may also be used in managing psychotic disorders, including schizophrenia, by acting on dopamine receptors in the brain. 50mg Tablets offer a dual benefit for patients dealing with gastrointestinal issues as well as mental health challenges.
