Information
Motilium, generically known as domperidone, is a medication primarily used to relieve nausea and vomiting, and to increase the movements or contractions of the stomach and intestines, thereby enhancing gastric emptying. It works by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain, which helps to prevent vomiting and also increases the action of the gastrointestinal system. Motilium is often prescribed for individuals suffering from gastroparesis (delayed gastric emptying) and other conditions where enhanced gastrointestinal motility would be beneficial. It is available in various forms, including tablets, orally disintegrating tablets, and suspension. While it is widely used and considered effective for its indicated purposes, it is important for patients to use Motilium under the guidance of a healthcare professional due to potential side effects and contraindications.
