Uses of Alevo Injection

Benefits of Alevo Injection

In Treatment of Functional dyspepsia

Functional dyspepsia is another term for indigestion that is not associated with a specific cause. It may cause symptoms such as an early feeling of fullness after eating, stomach pain or discomfort, nausea, and bloating. Alevo 12.5mg Injection helps treat these symptoms by increasing the rate of stomach emptying. Some simple lifestyle changes can help stop or reduce these symptoms. Think about what foods trigger your symptoms and try to avoid them; eat smaller, more frequent meals; try to lose weight if you are overweight and try to find ways to relax. Do not eat within 3 to 4 hours of going to bed.

In Treatment of Nausea

Alevo 12.5mg Injection blocks the action of chemicals in the body that can make you feel or be sick. This medicine helps you feel better and at ease. It is given as an injection by a doctor and you should follow the doctor’s instructions carefully to get the most benefit from this medicine.

In Treatment of Diabetic gastroparesis (diabetic nerve disease affecting stomach)

Diabetic gastroparesis is a condition in diabetic patients in which the stomach cannot empty digested food normally. Symptoms may include heartburn, nausea, vomiting, and feeling full faster than normal while eating. Alevo 12.5mg Injection helps relieve these symptoms and restores normal movement of food in the stomach and intestines. This improves your digestion and makes you feel better.

How Alevo Injection works

Alevo 12.5mg 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.
