Peridone (5mg/5ml) 120ml Suspension

Domperidone syrup operates by blocking the effects of dopamine, a chemical in the body responsible for regulating muscle contractions in the digestive system. As an antiemetic medication, Domperidone acts as a dopamine receptor antagonist, specifically inhibiting dopamine receptors in the gastrointestinal tract. By doing so, it enhances the contractions of the stomach and intestines, promoting increased motility and facilitating the swift movement of food through the digestive system. This heightened muscular activity not only accelerates digestion but also alleviates symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and abdominal discomfort associated with various digestive disorders. Domperidone's mechanism of action provides relief by enhancing gastrointestinal motility and promoting efficient stomach emptying.

If you miss a dose of Domperidone, it is important to take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, it is advised to skip the missed dose and continue on your regular schedule. This is because it is not recommended to double the dose of this medication to avoid any side effects.

If you are unsure about what to do or experience any concerning side effects, it is advised to consult with your doctor or pharmacist for further advice.

Domperidone is a medication used to treat and prevent nausea and vomiting. To prevent this sickness due to chemotherapy, it is typical to take 10 mg of Domperidone three times a day. For treatment, a single dose of 10 mg is typically adequate, but if further treatment is necessary, you may consider a subsequent dose of 10 mg, but no more than 30 mg should be given within a 24-hour period. For the treatment of established nausea and vomiting, especially in the elderly and obese patients, a lower dose of 5 mg three times a day may be adequate. It is best to take Domperidone with food or milk to minimize the risk of neuroside effects. If you overdose on Domperidone, generally, the symptoms are mild and transient and may be due to CNS stimulation. In very rare cases, hypoglycemia, hypotension, and QT prolongation have been reported. No specific countermeasures are necessary, and treatment is tailored to individual symptoms. Hypersensitivity to domperidone or any of the excipients is a contraindication. The concomitant use of domperidone with hormonal contraceptives may enhance the contraceptive effect but increases the risk of thrombotic events, so they should not be used together. Hepatic and renal impairment does not affect Domperidone dosage needs. There is not enough research on Domperidone to recommend it for use during the first trimester of pregnancy, therefore it is not recommended as there is also no evidence of risk to the fetus. Lactation is also not well researched, so breastfeeding should be done with caution. Is this helpful?
