About this product

Overview

Motilum 10mg Tablet contains domperidone, a medication utilized in the management of gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, bloating, and discomfort. Domperidone operates by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain and gastrointestinal tract, thereby enhancing the movement or contractions of the stomach and intestines. This action facilitates the passage of food through the digestive system, relieving symptoms associated with various digestive disorders.

Uses

Motilum 10mg Tablet is prescribed for the following conditions:

  1. Nausea and Vomiting: It is used to alleviate nausea and vomiting caused by various factors such as gastrointestinal disorders, medication side effects, or motion sickness.
  2. Gastroesophageal Reflux (GERD): Domperidone may be employed to relieve symptoms of GERD, including heartburn, regurgitation, and discomfort.
  3. Gastroparesis: It aids in improving gastric emptying in individuals with gastroparesis, a condition characterized by delayed stomach emptying.
  4. Functional Dyspepsia: Domperidone may help manage symptoms of functional dyspepsia, such as bloating, early satiety, and abdominal discomfort.

Dosage

The dosage of Motilum 10mg Tablet may vary based on individual requirements and healthcare provider recommendations. It is typically taken orally with water, preferably before meals, to aid in the relief of symptoms.

Side Effects

While generally well-tolerated, Motilum 10mg Tablet may lead to certain side effects, including:

  1. Headache: Mild to moderate headaches may occur.
  2. Dizziness: Some individuals may experience feelings of lightheadedness or vertigo.
  3. Dry Mouth: Feeling thirsty due to decreased saliva production.
  4. Abdominal Cramps: Some individuals may experience mild abdominal discomfort.
  5. Breast Enlargement or Tenderness: Rarely, domperidone may cause hormonal changes leading to breast enlargement or tenderness, particularly in men.

Precautions

To ensure safe and effective use of Motilum 10mg Tablet, consider the following precautions:

  1. Cardiac Conditions: Use with caution in individuals with underlying cardiac conditions, as domperidone may prolong the QT interval on electrocardiogram (ECG), potentially increasing the risk of arrhythmias.
  2. Elderly Population: Elderly patients may be more susceptible to the side effects of domperidone, such as dizziness or constipation.
  3. Liver or Kidney Impairment: Dosage adjustments may be necessary in individuals with impaired liver or kidney function, as domperidone is primarily metabolized in the liver and excreted through the kidneys.
  4. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Use of domperidone during pregnancy or breastfeeding should be discussed with a healthcare provider to assess the potential risks and benefits.

Contraindications

Motilum 10mg Tablet is contraindicated in individuals with a known hypersensitivity to domperidone or any components of the tablet. It should not be used in patients with a history of gastrointestinal bleeding, mechanical obstruction, or perforation.
