MECHANISM OF ACTION: Pantoprazole inhibits the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme, which is responsible for gastric acid secretion in the parietal cells of the stomach and irreversibly blocks the final step of acid secretion. It increases the motility of the GI tract by inhibiting the action of dopamine and fastens gastric emptying. Levosulpiride is the levorotatory enantiomer of sulpiride, a benzamide derivative selectively inhibiting dopaminergic D 2 receptors both in the trigger zone in the central nervous system and in the gastrointestinal tract.
