Hyperprolactinemia is a condition of raised serum prolactin levels which can be drug induced also manifesting as galactorrhea, menstrual problems and infertility in women. Levosulpiride is used in the treatment of psychoses, anxiety disorders and now a days also used in treatment of GERD. The action of Levosulpiride is attributed to 5-HT4 receptors agonism in the enteric system. This is the case report of 22-year-old lady who presented with galactorrhea due to intake of two drugs Levosulpiride and Esomeprazole prescribed for the treatment of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease.[H Rajgadhi NJIRM 2017; 8(3):158-160]
