Is Levosulpiride Addictive

Updated

I am unable to find out if levosulpiride is addictive. I was prescribed this when I was in Costa Rica and it worked great for my dyspepsia nausea. It is classified as a substituted benzamide. I am in Canada and the drug is not available here. I would like to know what it's half life is and if it's addictive.

No, this medication is not addictive, as listed by the U.S. FDA and it's half life is approximately 9.7 hours.

Its typical side effects may include dizziness, headache, flatulence, stomach pain and diarrhea.

Is there anything else I can help with?

Thanks ever so much for this information. I do appreciate it. It has been most difficult to find any information on levosulpiride. It is not available in Canada. When I was in Costa Rica I did find it incredibly helpful with my nausea related to gastro problems (undiagnosed functional dyspepsia). The gastroenterologist there put me on Lansoprazole 20 mg in the morning and levosulpiride 30 minutes before lunch and dinner. Apparently it works similarly to domperidone, but better and safer.
