Ilaprazole + Levosulpiride is primarily used to manage gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and belongs to the group of proton pump inhibitors and atypical antipsychotics.
Besides managing GERD, this combination is also used for managing peptic ulcers (gastric and duodenal ulcers), functional dyspepsia, and other peptic disorders.

Ilaprazole + Levosulpiride is a gastroprokinetic and antiulcer combination.
Ilaprazole is a proton pump inhibitor. It works by blocking an enzyme system known as the H+/K+ ATPase in the stomach lining. This action prevents the secretion of stomach acid, which aids in the healing of gastric and duodenal ulcers and provides relief from acid reflux conditions.
Levosulpiride is an atypical antipsychotic with prokinetic properties. It functions by selectively blocking dopamine D2 receptors in the gastrointestinal tract. This boosts the release of a chemical messenger, acetylcholine, which increases gut movement and speeds up the emptying of food from the stomach.
