DOMPERIDONE blocks the messages that pass between your digestive system and your brain. It makes you less likely to be sick by making the muscles at the entrance of your stomach tighten and the muscles at the exit of your stomach relax. It also blocks messages in your brain that cause you to feel sick.
Domperidone 10mg tablets are used to treat nausea and vomiting, as well as other conditions such as indigestion and bloating. Domperidone is a medication that works by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain, which helps improve the movement of food through the stomach and intestines, thereby reducing nausea and enhancing gastrointestinal motility.
