الأسئلة الشائعة
How does domperidone actually stop me from feeling sick?
Domperidone works by helping your stomach to move food through your digestive system more quickly. This increased movement helps to reduce feelings of sickness.
Can domperidone be given to young children under 12 years old?
Domperidone is used for adults and children over 12 years of age. If it is for a child under 12, this needs to be discussed with a doctor.
What should I do if I forget to take a dose of domperidone?
The article states to take domperidone exactly as your doctor tells you to, and not to exceed three doses in a 24-hour period. It's best to follow your doctor's specific instructions for missed doses, but typically you would take it about half an hour before your next meal.
How long will I be taking domperidone for?
Domperidone is intended for short-term use only. Your treatment with this medicine will not last longer than seven days.
Are there any warning signs I should look out for that mean I need to contact a doctor straight away?
Yes, you should speak with a doctor straightaway if you experience fainting or a feeling of fast heartbeats (palpitations) while taking domperidone.
Who should not take domperidone?
Domperidone might not be suitable for you if you have problems with your liver, kidneys, or heart, especially an irregular heart rhythm. It's also not recommended if you have certain digestive system issues like a blockage or internal bleeding, or if you have a tumour on your pituitary gland called a prolactinoma. Your doctor needs to know if any of these apply to you before you start taking it.
Can I take domperidone alongside other medications or herbal remedies?
It's important to let your doctor know about all other medicines you are taking, including those bought without a prescription, as well as any herbal or complementary medicines. This is because some medicines are not suitable to be taken together, or may require extra care.
What if my sickness is due to an unknown cause?
You will only be recommended an anti-emetic like domperidone if the cause of your sickness is known. If the cause is unknown, domperidone would not be prescribed.
