How ILADAC L CAPSULE Works

Levosulpiride is a selective D2 receptor blocker that has an inhibitory effect on the action of dopamine. This results in the increased tonicity of a group of muscles at the lower end of the oesophagus, stomach, and parts of the intestines. As a result, vomiting is no longer occurring. Thus, levosulpiride shows its anti-emetic properties in ILADAC L CAPSULE.
