Basic Information:MOTILIUM is indicated for control of nausea and vomiting of central or local origin.
Information:Side-effects
Allergic reactions, such as rash or urticaria, have been reported.
Abdominal cramps have been reported.
Dystonic reactions (extrapyramidal phenomena) may occur.
Reversible raised serum prolactin levels have been observed which may lead to galactorrhoea and gynaecomastia.
Hypertensive crises in patients with phaeochromocytoma may occur with administration of domperidone.
Where the blood brain barrier is not fully developed (mainly in young babies) or is impaired, the possible occurrence of neurological side-effects cannot be totally excluded.
Special precautions
Since domperidone is highly metabolised in the liver, MOTILIUM should be used with caution in patients with hepatic impairment (and in the elderly).
Interactions
Concomitant administration of anti-cholinergic drugs may inhibit the anti-dyspeptic effects of MOTILIUM.
Anti-muscarinic agents and opioid analgesics may antagonise the effect of MOTILIUM.
MOTILIUM suppresses the peripheral effects (digestive disorders, nausea and vomiting) of dopaminergic agonists.
Since MOTILIUM has gastro-kinetic effects, it could influence the absorption of concomitant orally administered medicines, particularly those with sustained release or enteric coated formulations.
As MOTILIUM interferes with serum prolactin levels, it may interfere with other hypoprolactinaemic agents and with some diagnostic tests.
Antacids and anti-secretory agents lower the oral bioavailability of domperidone. They should be taken after meals and not before meals, i.e. they should not be taken simultaneously with MOTILIUM.
Reduced gastric acidity impairs the absorption of domperidone.
Oral bioavailability is decreased by prior administration of cimetidine or sodium bicarbonate.
