Why Domperidone represents an attractive
alternative to Metochlopramide?
Domperidone tablets have an excellent safety profile: Domperidone is a dopamine antagonist that does not readily enter the
central nervous system and so it represents a unique gastro-kinetic and
anti-emetic drug with potent ant emetic properties is devoid of central
effects, up to high dose levels.
Why Domperidone is the best ?
Acute non-specific nausea and vomiting (e.g. from ‘food poisoning’,
communicable gastroenteritis, motion sickness and hang-over) is
established as a self-medication indication. Patients can be relied on
to diagnose the disorder and in the majority of instances identify the
most likely cause. In most cases the dehydration and malnutrition caused
by the symptoms are of more concern than the cause, which is usually
self-limiting. Importantly, early and convenient access to
Domperidone
can reduce the amount of electrolytes lost and the possibility of
dehydration.
