Drug Information
5 reviews for Domperidone (Motilium)
Motilium contains Domperidone.
Domperidone is a medicine that relieves nausea and vomiting and helps the stomach empty more quickly. It is used in many countries but is not approved in the USA.
What is it used for?
- Nausea and vomiting
- Bloating and fullness from slow stomach emptying
How does it work?
Domperidone blocks dopamine in the vomiting centre of the brain and in the gut, which reduces nausea and speeds up stomach emptying. It does not easily enter the brain, so it causes fewer movement side effects.
