More facts about Generic Motilium (Domperidone 10 mg):

What is the drug sold as Motilium?

The name of the medication Motilium is registered by a Belgium pharmaceutical company Janssen Pharmaceutica. The original formula of the active agent, Domperidone, was developed back in 1974. Currently, the exclusive patent had already terminated which means that the same formula can be used by other medication-making companies. Taking this into account, if your healthcare provider tells you to buy Motilium, you can get the generic version of the medication instead, i.e. the same medicine simply sold under another name. The most known alternative names for it are Dompy, Domstal, and Vomistop.

The medications based on Domperidone are antiemetics (anti-nausea meds) that normalize functions of the digestive system. They are also prokinetics, i.e. medicines that normalize the digestive motility by raising the frequency or potency of contractions in the small intestine.

How the medication’s effect is achieved?

The effect of the medication is due to the blocking of dopamine D2 receptors and inhibition of dopamine impact on the gastrointestinal tract functions. Generic Domperidone raises the duration of peristaltic contractions of the antral part of the stomach and duodenum, improves the functioning of the stomach, accelerating its emptying in case of slowing down of this process, and increases the tone of the lower esophageal sphincter.

The anti-nausea effect is due to the combination of peripheral (gastrokinetic) action and blockade of chemoreceptors in the trigger zone of the vomiting center. Domperidone prevents the development or reduces the severity of nausea and vomiting. It also elevates serum prolactin levels. Domperidone does not affect gastric secretion.

When you buy Motilium, you should know that it is quickly absorbed from the digestive tract but the food intake or the lowered gastric juice acidity lower the absorption and the effect is respectively less pronounced.

According to the tests of the medication in animals, as well as low concentrations in people, indicate a predominantly peripheral effect of Domperidone on dopamine receptors.
