DOMSTAL SUSPENSION

Uses and Benefits of DOMSTAL SUSPENSION (Domperidone 1mg/ml)

Domperidone is mainly used to treat nausea, vomiting and uncomfortable fullness or bloating linked to slow stomach emptying and other digestive disturbances.

WHAT THIS MEDICINE IS USED FOR

• Relief of nausea and vomiting
• Feeling of fullness, bloating and upper abdominal discomfort after meals
• Symptoms linked to slow movement of food from the stomach
• Nausea and vomiting associated with certain digestive disorders as advised by your doctor

HOW IT WORKS

• It blocks dopamine receptors in the gut, which increases stomach and intestinal movement, helping food pass through faster
• It blocks dopamine receptors in a brain area that controls vomiting, reducing the urge to vomit
• It does not usually cross into the brain in large amounts, so it has fewer effects on brain-related dopamine functions compared to some other anti-sickness medicines

WHAT IT IS NOT USED FOR

• Not used as a general painkiller
• Not used for motion sickness prevention
• Not a treatment for infections causing vomiting, such as food poisoning, on its own
