Levosulpiride, sold under the brand name SULPEPTA , is a potent prokinetic agent of the benzamide class.[1] It is a selective antagonist of the dopamine D2 receptors and 5-HT4 agonist[2] on both central and peripheral nervous systems. Levosulpiride is claimed to have mood elevating properties.

Chemically, it is the (S)-(−)-enantiomerofsulpiride.

Uses[edit]

Levosulpiride is used in the treatment of:

Levosulpiride is not currently licensed for treatment of premature ejaculation in the UK or other European countries.[3]

Side effects[edit]

Side effects include amenorrhea, gynecomastia, galactorrhea, changes in libido, and neuroleptic malignant syndrome.[4] In the U.S., as of 2013 only one case of adverse reaction to levosulpiride had been recorded on the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System Database.[3] A case of rapid onset resistant dystonia caused by low dose levosulpiride was reported in India.[5]

Mechanism of action[edit]

In contrast to most other neuroleptics which block both D1 and D2 receptors, levosulpiride is more selective and acts primarily as a D2 antagonist. Levosulpiride appears to lack effects on norepinephrine, acetylcholine, serotonin, histamine, and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors.[6]

Pharmacodynamics[edit]

Levosulpiride is a substituted benzamide derivative and a selective dopamine D2 antagonist with antipsychotic and antidepressant activity. Other benzamide derivatives include metoclopramide, tiapride, and sultopride.[6]
