levosulpride dosage is 25 mg thrice daily just before meals.It can be considered superior to itopride but not a big difference,what matters is which medicine suits you.Both are superior than domeperidone.If you take two meals,try to add third meal whether take in the form of a snack only,to achieve maximum blood levels in blood.
Also go for H.pylori test from any lab.
