Mode of Action
How Does It Work?
Levazeo 12.5mg Injection 2Ml contains levosulpiride as its active ingredient. Levosulpiride is a benzamide that acts by increasing the secretion and action of acetylcholine and decreasing dopamine's effect, causing constriction of gastric and intestinal walls, resulting in easy movement of contents through the digestive system. It prevents gastric reflux and vomiting caused by incomplete emptying of gastric contents or acidity.
Levazeo 12.5mg Injection 2Ml helps relieve symptoms of gastric reflux and acidity of unknown origin and cause. It helps relieve gassy flatulence, stomach pain, diarrhoea and constipation.
Levazeo 12.5mg Injection 2Ml is also used for treating schizophrenia by its anti-dopamine (chemical messenger in the body responsible for excitement) effect, thus helping to relax the central nervous system. It helps relieve symptoms and episodes of aggression, anxiety, stress and worry.
Schizophrenia is characterised by symptoms of hallucinations (where the patient reports seeing and hearing instances that are not existent and real). Psychiatric disorder exhibits symptoms like loss of interest in daily life activities to the point of hampering social behaviour.
