Levosulpiride, sold under the brand names Dislep and Sulpepta among others, is a dopamine antagonist medication which is used in the treatment of psychotic disorders like schizophrenia, major depressive disorder, nausea and vomiting, and gastroparesis.[1][2][3][4] It is taken by mouth.
It is a selective antagonist of the dopamine D2 receptor and an agonist of the serotonin 5-HT4 receptor.[4][5] Chemically, it is a benzamide and the (S)-(−)-enantiomer of sulpiride.[4]
Levosulpiride is marketed widely throughout the world, including in Europe, South Korea, Latin America, India, and Pakistan.[2] It is not available in the United States or the United Kingdom.[2]
