• Treatment of Vomiting
• Treatment of Functional dyspepsia
• Treatment of Diabetic gastroparesis (diabetic nerve disease affecting stomach)
• Treatment of Nausea

Lesuride Injection is an atypical antipsychotic. It works by increasing the release of acetylcholine (a chemical messenger). This increases the movement of stomach and intestines, and prevents reflux (acid going up to the food pipe) as well as nausea or vomiting. Since it modulates the motor function of the gastrointestinal tract, it also improves delayed gastric emptying.
