Emiset Syrup 120ml

Emiset Syrup contains Domperidone as its active ingredient, a medication primarily used to treat nausea and vomiting, as well as discomfort caused by a slow-moving stomach known as gastroparesis. Domperidone works by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain and gut, which helps to increase the movement or contractions of the stomach and intestines, allowing food to move more easily through the stomach.

Uses:

Emiset Syrup is commonly prescribed for:

• Nausea and Vomiting: Effective in controlling symptoms due to various causes, including chemotherapy, infections, and general illness.
• Gastroparesis: Helps relieve symptoms of stomach discomfort, fullness, bloating, and regurgitation.
• Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): It can be used to alleviate symptoms of heartburn and esophageal discomfort.

Side Effects:

While Domperidone is generally well-tolerated, some patients may experience side effects such as:

• Headache and dry mouth.
• Dizziness or feeling nervous.
• Gastrointestinal disturbances like abdominal cramps and diarrhea.
• Rarely, it can cause more serious effects such as cardiac arrhythmias, especially in high doses or in patients with existing heart conditions.

Precautions:

When using Emiset Syrup, consider the following precautions:

• Cardiac Health: Patients with heart problems should use Domperidone with caution due to the risk of heart rhythm problems.
• Other Medications: Inform your doctor about other medications you are taking as Domperidone can interact with many drugs, especially those that affect heart rhythm.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Use during pregnancy is only recommended when clearly needed and under direct medical supervision. Domperidone may pass into breast milk but is generally considered safe for use while breastfeeding under medical advice.
• Liver Function: Patients with liver disease should use Domperidone with caution, as it is metabolized by the liver and could potentially worsen liver function.

When Not to Use:

Avoid Emiset Syrup if you:

• Are allergic to Domperidone or any other ingredients in the syrup.
• Have a known history of cardiac arrhythmias, particularly QT prolongation.
• Suffer from a prolactinoma, a pituitary gland tumor that produces prolactin.
