ATYPRIDE LR CAPSULE is a combination of Levosulpiride and Rabeprazole which belongs to the group of medicines called Dopamine D2 antagonists and Proton-pump inhibitors respectively. ATYPRIDE LR CAPSULE is indicated for the management of Gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD). GERD is a chronic digestive disease in which the stomach acid frequently flows into the esophagus leading to irritation and inflammation of lining of food pipe. Symptoms include heartburn, chest pain, nausea, sensation of lump in throat and stomach discomfort.

Levosulpiride is a dopamine D2 antagonist that reduces acid reflux by enhancing gastric emptying (propulsion of food from the stomach to the intestines) and bowel movements and rabeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that inhibits the secretions of stomach acid, thus leading to healing of ulcers and inflammatory lesions in the stomach and in the intestines.
Take ATYPRIDE LR CAPSULE preferably on an empty stomach. Avoid consumption of alcohol while taking ATYPRIDE LR CAPSULE as it could potentiate the CNS depressive side effects.
