Per cosa si usa
Come agisce
Domperidone is a dopamine antagonist with anti-emetic properties, Domperidone does not readily cross the blood-brain barrier. Domperidone promotes the release of prolactin from the pituitary.

One 10mg tablet up to three times per day with maximum dose of 30 mg per day.
Gravidanza e allattamento
- Gravidanza
- Unknown Limited human data have not shown a rise in birth defects; high, maternally toxic doses harmed rat fetuses. UK label: use in pregnancy only when justified by the expected benefit. Better-studied antiemetics are preferred for pregnancy sickness.
- Allattamento
- Safe Very low milk levels (under 0.1% of the mother's dose) and no infant harm in published cases; it is used to boost milk supply. It carries a heart rhythm risk for the mother. UK label: decide between breastfeeding and the drug, as infant heart effects cannot be excluded.

Chi deve prestare attenzione
- May be associated with serious ventricular arrhythmias or sudden cardiac death; risk may be higher in patients over 60 or at daily doses above 30 mg. Use the lowest dose for the shortest duration.
