RETUNE LS TABLET

RETUNE LS TABLET belongs to a group of medicines called 'prokinetics, psycholeptic and antipsychotics' used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and dyspepsia (indigestion). Additionally, RETUNE LS TABLET is also used to treat psychotic disorders like somatic symptom disorders and chronic schizophrenia with negative symptoms. 

RETUNE LS TABLET contains 'Levosulpiride', which increases the pressure of the inferior oesophagal (food pipe) sphincter, thereby preventing the backflow of food and acid from the stomach into the mouth. RETUNE LS TABLET increases gastrointestinal motility without disrupting their rhythm, thereby helps in treating indigestion. RETUNE LS TABLET works by blocking the effects of chemical receptors in the brain, such as dopamine, thereby helping in improving mood, behaviour and thoughts. 

You are advised to take RETUNE LS TABLET as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects, such as dizziness, sleepiness, weakness, and vertigo (spinning sensation). Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Do not take RETUNE LS TABLET if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. RETUNE LS TABLET may cause dizziness, so drive only if you are alert. RETUNE LS TABLET is not recommended for children as safety has not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol along with RETUNE LS TABLET as it could lead to unpleasant side effects. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medicines to rule out any side effects/interactions.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD): The stomach is usually protected from acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, due to excess acid production, the mucous layer gets eroded, which leads to complications like acidity, GERD, etc. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a condition that occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the food pipe (oesophagus). This backflow (acid reflux) irritates the food pipe and causes heartburn. 

Irritable bowel syndrome: It is a common disorder that affects the large intestine. Symptoms include cramps, abdominal pain, bloating, gas, constipation or diarrhoea.

Dyspepsia (indigestion): It is the feeling of fullness. It occurs due to slow gastric emptying. Symptoms include stomach pain, bloating, heartburn, nausea and vomiting.
