Dopadon 10 contains Domperidone Maleate 10 mg, a dopamine receptor antagonist that enhances gastrointestinal motility and relieves nausea, vomiting, and digestive discomfort.

Description

Dopadon 10 is a prokinetic drug that improves gastric motility and relieves bloating, reflux, nausea, and vomiting. It is particularly effective for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), functional dyspepsia, diabetic gastroparesis, and nausea caused by chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or migraine.

Benefits

Dopadon 10 helps improve stomach emptying, reduce bloating, relieve nausea, and prevent vomiting. It is also helpful in treating delayed gastric emptying, non-ulcer dyspepsia, reflux esophagitis, and nausea induced by medications, migraines, or radiation therapy. The medication promotes better digestion and reduces discomfort caused by gastrointestinal disorders.

Ingredients

Each tablet contains 10 mg of domperidone maleate, which blocks dopamine receptors in the stomach and chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ), enhancing gastrointestinal motility and preventing nausea.

Pregnancy & Lactation

Dopadon 10 is not recommended during pregnancy as its safety has not been established. Animal studies have not shown teratogenic effects. The medication may enhance postpartum lactation and is excreted in small amounts in breast milk, but it is unlikely to harm the infant.

Precautions and Warnings

Dopadon 10 should be used with caution in children, as they have a higher risk of extrapyramidal effects. Patients with hepatic impairment should take the medication under medical supervision due to its extensive metabolism in the liver. The drug is not recommended for individuals with gastrointestinal bleeding, mechanical obstruction, or perforation.

Safety Information

Dopadon 10 should not be used in individuals with known hypersensitivity to Domperidone. It should be stored safely away from children. Avoid taking it with opioid analgesics or MAO inhibitors, as they may reduce its effectiveness.

It is also used to speed up barium transit in radiological studies.

Pharmacology

Domperidone is a dopamine antagonist that blocks dopamine receptors in the stomach and chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ). This prevents nausea and vomiting while improving gastric emptying and peristalsis. Since It does not cross the blood-brain barrier, it has minimal neurological side effects.
