Protak 50mg Tablet

Protak 50mg Tablet, made by Advanced Pharmaceuticals, is a prokinetic and anti-nausea medicine. Its active ingredient is Levosulpiride 50mg, and it is used for functional dyspepsia, bloating, nausea, vomiting and slow stomach emptying. Pack size: 20 tablets.

Uses of Protak 50mg Tablet

Protak 50mg Tablet is used to relieve indigestion that has no obvious cause (functional dyspepsia), with symptoms such as bloating, upper abdominal discomfort, feeling full quickly after eating, belching, nausea and vomiting. It is also used when the stomach empties too slowly, for example in some people with diabetes. It is usually prescribed for a limited period while symptoms settle.

How Protak 50mg Tablet works

Levosulpiride blocks dopamine receptors in the gut, which helps the stomach contract and empty more quickly into the bowel. It also acts on the part of the brain that triggers vomiting, reducing nausea. Together these effects relieve the heavy, bloated feeling that can follow meals.

Possible side effects

Protak 50mg Tablet is generally well tolerated over short courses. Side effects that can occur include:

• Drowsiness or tiredness
• Breast tenderness or swelling
• Unexpected milk discharge from the breasts
• Irregular or missed periods
• Restlessness

Stop taking it and contact a doctor straight away if you develop uncontrolled movements of the face, tongue or limbs, muscle stiffness with a high temperature, fainting or a racing heartbeat.

Precautions and warnings

• Use it for the shortest time your doctor recommends, as longer use increases the risk of movement disorders and hormone-related side effects.
• Tell your doctor if you have epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, a breast lump or breast cancer, high prolactin levels or a tumour of the adrenal gland (phaeochromocytoma).
• It should not be used if you have bleeding, a blockage or a tear in the stomach or bowel.
• Avoid alcohol, and do not drive if it makes you drowsy.
• It is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Storage

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it in the original pack until use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
