Domotin

Domotin is a gastrointestinal medicine that contains Domperidone, used for the relief of nausea, vomiting, and digestive discomfort. It works by blocking dopamine receptors in the gut and brain, which helps improve stomach emptying and motility. This makes it effective for managing conditions where delayed digestion or reflux causes symptoms such as bloating, indigestion, and nausea.

Primary Uses

• Relief of nausea and vomiting from various causes.

• Indigestion, bloating, and discomfort linked to slow digestion.

• Gastroparesis (delayed stomach emptying).

• Acid reflux and heartburn relief by speeding gastric emptying.

• Nausea linked to migraine attacks.

• Nausea caused by Parkinson’s medications.

• Supportive use in chemotherapy- or surgery-related nausea.

• In some cases, to improve lactation in breastfeeding women. (off-label, under supervision)

Side Effects

Domotin is generally well tolerated, but side effects may include:

• Headache or dizziness.

• Dry mouth.

• Stomach cramps or diarrhea.

• Fatigue or mild drowsiness.

• Skin rash. (rare)

• In rare cases: heart rhythm disturbances. (QT prolongation)

Precautions & Warnings

• Avoid use if allergic to Domperidone or any of its components.

• Patients with liver or kidney problems should use it cautiously.

• Not recommended for individuals with a history of cardiac arrhythmias.

• Should not be combined with medications that prolong the QT interval (such as certain antifungals or antibiotics).

• Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before use.

• Do not exceed the prescribed dose, as higher amounts may increase heart-related risks.

Doctor’s Review
Dr. Nadia Hussain, MBBS, FCPS – Internal Medicine

“Domotin is used to manage nausea, bloating, and delayed digestion by enhancing gastric motility. It can provide quick relief in conditions such as reflux or gastroparesis, helping restore digestive comfort. While generally well tolerated, it requires caution in patients with heart rhythm concerns or when combined with other interacting medicines. Use during breastfeeding should be carefully considered, with close monitoring if prescribed. As a short-term option, it offers effective control of gastrointestinal discomfort and nausea.”
