Domperidone is a specialized peripheral dopamine antagonist that acts as a gastroprokinetic agent. It works by increasing the movements and contractions of the stomach and intestines, allowing food to move more efficiently through the digestive tract. By strengthening the valve between the esophagus and the stomach and speeding up "gastric emptying," Domperidone effectively stops the sensation of nausea and prevents the discomfort of bloating and acid reflux.
In Nigeria, Domperidone 10mg is a foundational clinical treatment for the rapid relief of "heavy stomach," persistent vomiting, and upper abdominal discomfort. It is available through registered pharmacies like Sanlive Pharmacy to ensure patients receive authentic, high-stability tablets manufactured under strict World Health Organization (WHO) Good Manufacturing Practices.
Important: This is a prescription-only medication. It should be used at the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible duration (usually not exceeding one week). Domperidone should be used with extreme caution in patients over 60 years of age. If you have a history of heart rhythm disorders (QT prolongation) or congestive heart failure, consult a healthcare professional before use, as Domperidone can affect the heart's electrical activity at high doses.

Is Domperidone the same as Motilium?
Yes. Motilium is the original brand name for the drug Domperidone. Both contain the same active ingredient and work in the exact same way to stop nausea and improve digestion.
Can I take this for a long time if I have chronic bloating?
No. Current medical guidelines recommend using Domperidone for the shortest time possible (usually a few days) to avoid potential side effects on the heart. If your symptoms persist, you should see a doctor for further investigation.
Will it help with my travel sickness?
While it can help with the nausea, Domperidone is generally less effective for "motion sickness" than antihistamine-based medications. It is best used for stomach-related nausea and slow digestion.
