✔️ Side Effects

Hyperprolactinemia is a side effect of domperidone (1.3 percent ). Galactorrhea, breast growth, discomfort, and a decrease in libido are all possible side effects. During domperidone treatment, dry mouth (1 percent), thirst, headache (1.2 percent), nervousness, drowsiness (0.4 percent), diarrhea (0.2 percent), skin rash, and itching (0.1 percent) are all possible side effects. Clinical investigations show that extrapyramidal responses occur in 0.05 percent of patients.

✔️ Interaction

Domperidone may reduce the risk of the hypoprolactemic effect of bromocriptine. The action of Domperidone on Gl function may be antagonized by antimuscarinics and opoid analgesics. Care should be exercised when domperidone is administered in combination with MAO (monoamine oxidase) inhibitors.

✔️ Contraindications:

Domperidone may reduce the risk of the hypoprolactemic effect of bromocriptine. The action of Domperidone on Gl function may be antagonized by antimuscarinics and opoid analgesics. Care should be exercised when domperidone is administered in combination with MAO (monoamine oxidase) inhibitors.

✔️ Pregnancy & Lactation

Because the safety of domperidone has not been established, it is not recommended for use during pregnancy. The teratogenic effect in the fetus has not been shown in animal research. Domperidone can help with galactorrhea and postpartum lactation. It's secreted in breast milk, but in such small amounts that it's not considered dangerous.

✔️ Precautions & Warnings

Domperidone should be used with extreme caution in children due to an elevated risk of extrapyramidal effects, due to an incompletely established blood-brain barrier in young children. Domperidone should be taken with caution in patients with hepatic impairment since it is highly metabolized in the liver.

✔️ Storage:

Store at or below 30°C, away from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of youngsters.
