Used For:

Domperidone is a medication primarily used to treat nausea, vomiting, and gastric discomfort. It works by blocking dopamine receptors in the stomach and intestines, helping to improve gastrointestinal motility and reduce symptoms such as bloating, indigestion, and reflux. It is often prescribed to manage conditions like gastroparesis and as an adjunct in the treatment of Parkinson's disease to counteract the nausea caused by dopaminergic medications.

Side Effects:

Common side effects of domperidone include dry mouth, headache, dizziness, and abdominal cramps. Less common but more serious side effects may include irregular heart rhythms, especially when used in high doses or with other medications that affect heart function. Long-term use can lead to hormonal side effects, including breast enlargement or lactation.

Precautions:

Domperidone should be used with caution in individuals with heart conditions, particularly those with a history of arrhythmias, as it can affect the heart's electrical activity. It is not recommended for long-term use due to potential risks. Patients with liver or kidney problems may require dose adjustments. Domperidone should not be combined with certain medications, such as some antibiotics or antifungals, due to possible drug interactions. It is also important to inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
