Motilium contains Domperidone, a specialized dopamine antagonist that acts as a prokinetic agent. It works primarily by increasing the movements or contractions of the stomach and intestines, allowing food to move more easily through the digestive tract. By speeding up "gastric emptying" and strengthening the valve between the esophagus and stomach, Motilium effectively stops the sensation of nausea and prevents the backward flow of stomach contents.
In Nigeria, Motilium is a leading clinical choice for the rapid relief of "heavy stomach," bloating, and vomiting. It is available through registered pharmacies like Sanlive Pharmacy to ensure patients receive authentic, high-quality medication manufactured under strict international safety standards (such as those by Janssen).
Important: This is a prescription-only medication. It must be used at the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration possible (usually not exceeding one week). Motilium should be used with 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 cardiologist before use, as Domperidone can affect heart electrical activity at high doses.
Motilium Tablets are primarily used to:
Stop nausea and vomiting caused by various factors, including infections or diet
Relieve the sensation of "fullness" or bloating during or after a meal
Treat upper abdominal discomfort and "sour stomach" (non-ulcer dyspepsia)
Manage acid reflux by helping the stomach empty faster
Assist in the management of nausea associated with certain medications used for Parkinson’s disease
This product is suitable for:
Adults and adolescents (weighing 35kg or more) suffering from acute nausea or vomiting
Individuals with "slow digestion" who experience persistent bloating after eating
Patients requiring a prokinetic to improve gut motility as directed by a specialist
Not recommended for: Individuals with a known hypersensitivity to Domperidone. It is strictly contraindicated for patients with a prolactin-releasing pituitary tumor (prolactinoma), internal gastrointestinal bleeding, or a perforated/obstructed bowel. Do not use if you have moderate-to-severe liver disease or pre-existing heart rhythm issues.
Take exactly as prescribed by your doctor, usually one 10mg tablet up to three times daily
For maximum effectiveness, take Motilium 15 to 30 minutes before meals
Taking the tablet after food may delay its absorption and effectiveness
Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water; do not crush or chew it
Do not exceed the maximum daily dose of 30mg (3 tablets in 24 hours)
Motilium is generally well-tolerated, but some individuals may experience:
Dryness of the mouth
Temporary changes in bowel habits (diarrhea or constipation)
Feeling of weakness or headache
Rare: Breast tenderness or discharge (due to increased prolactin levels)
Rare: Irregular heartbeat (seek immediate care if you feel palpitations)
Discontinue use and seek medical attention if you experience a faint feeling, rapid heartbeat, or signs of an allergic reaction such as a skin rash or swelling of the face.

Can I take Motilium to increase breast milk supply?
While Domperidone is sometimes used "off-label" for this purpose because it raises prolactin, you should never do this without a direct prescription and supervision from your doctor due to potential risks to the heart.
How is Motilium different from an antacid?
An antacid neutralizes the acid already in your stomach. Motilium actually moves the food and acid out of your stomach and into the intestines faster, addressing the root cause of the "heavy" feeling.
Is it safe to take Motilium with my heart medicine?
Some medications (like certain antibiotics or heart drugs) can interact with Motilium. Always provide our pharmacist with a full list of your current medications to ensure a safe combination.
