Motilium, containing Domperidone as its active ingredient, is a medication used to treat nausea and vomiting. It works by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain and gastrointestinal tract, enhancing motility in the stomach and intestines to facilitate quicker gastric emptying. Side Effects Common side effects include dry mouth, dizziness, headache, and abdominal cramps. Rare but serious side effects could include heart arrhythmias, especially in those with pre-existing cardiovascular conditions, and prolonged QT intervals, which could potentially lead to fatal arrhythmias. Precautions Heart Conditions: People with heart problems, particularly those with an irregular heartbeat, should use Motilium with caution, as it can potentially worsen cardiac issues. Liver and Kidney Disorders: It is important to use this medication cautiously if you have liver or kidney problems. Dose adjustments may be necessary. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: While Motilium is not usually recommended during pregnancy, it can be prescribed if the benefit outweighs the risk. It is excreted in breast milk, so it should be used with caution while breastfeeding. Drug Interactions: Be aware of potential drug interactions, especially with medications that affect heart rhythm or other drugs metabolized by the liver.
