Domperidone is a medication used to relieve symptoms of nausea, bloating, and discomfort related to delayed stomach emptying, heartburn, and acid reflux. It works by increasing the movement of the stomach and intestines, helping food pass more efficiently through the digestive system. This action reduces the likelihood of acid and contents backing up into the esophagus, which can cause irritation and reflux symptoms.
Domperidone acts on receptors in the gut and the upper digestive tract, enhancing muscle contractions without affecting acid production itself. By promoting faster gastric emptying, it helps prevent the build-up of pressure that contributes to symptoms like indigestion, burping, and a feeling of fullness after eating small amounts.
The medication is often prescribed when lifestyle measures and acid-reducing treatments are not sufficient to control symptoms. It is also sometimes used to treat nausea or vomiting that may be associated with gastrointestinal conditions or medications.
Domperidone is usually taken 15 to 30 minutes before meals, typically up to three times a day. The dosage and duration depend on the severity of symptoms and the underlying cause.
Some people may experience side effects, such as dry mouth, abdominal cramps, or headaches. Though rare, more serious effects may occur in individuals with certain heart conditions, and it is generally not recommended for people with a history of cardiac arrhythmias.
