Motilium 10 Mg 40 Tablets

Motilium 10 Mg 40 Tablets

Description:

Motilium 10 mg 40 tablets is a prescription oral medicine containing domperidone, an antidopaminergic prokinetic and antiemetic agent. It is used to relieve nausea and vomiting and to improve gastric motility in conditions associated with delayed gastric emptying. By enhancing gastrointestinal movement and blocking dopamine receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger zone, Motilium helps control symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, bloating, and discomfort related to gastric stasis. This product is intended for adults and, in some cases, adolescents as directed by a physician.

Indications:

• Treatment and relief of nausea and vomiting of various causes, including those associated with gastrointestinal disorders and migraine.
• Management of nausea and vomiting in patients receiving cytotoxic (chemotherapy) drugs, as prescribed by a doctor.
• Symptomatic treatment of delayed gastric emptying of functional origin (functional dyspepsia), including sensations of fullness, bloating, and upper abdominal discomfort related to slow gastric emptying.
• Use as an antiemetic as part of pre-anaesthetic or post-operative regimens to reduce the risk of post-operative nausea and vomiting, under medical supervision.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Domperidone – 10 mg per film-coated tablet.
• Other excipients (film-coating agents, fillers, binders, etc.) are present but specific names and concentrations , please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website. Refer to the package leaflet for the full excipient list.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Motilium 10 mg tablets should always be used exactly as prescribed by a physician. Do not exceed the recommended dose or duration.
• Adults and adolescents (as directed by a doctor): the usual dose is often 10 mg (1 tablet) up to three times daily. The exact dose, frequency, and duration must be determined by your healthcare provider based on your condition and overall health.
• Tablets are usually taken before meals. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water; do not crush or chew unless your doctor advises otherwise.
• In patients receiving chemotherapy or pre-anaesthetic medication, the dosing schedule and timing in relation to treatment will be specified by the treating physician.
• Use in children: domperidone dosing in children is weight-based and strictly at the discretion of a pediatrician. Do not give this medicine to children without medical advice.
• Do not use Motilium longer than recommended by your doctor. If symptoms persist, worsen, or new symptoms appear, seek medical advice promptly.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides effective relief from nausea and vomiting by blocking dopamine receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ), reducing the vomiting reflex.
• Enhances gastrointestinal motility by increasing oesophageal peristalsis, improving lower oesophageal sphincter tone, and promoting gastric emptying, which helps relieve bloating and discomfort.
• Supports better tolerance of chemotherapy and certain medications by reducing associated nausea and vomiting, improving overall treatment comfort and adherence.
• Helps manage nausea and vomiting associated with migraine and peri-operative states, contributing to improved patient comfort and faster recovery.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Do not use Motilium if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to domperidone or any of the other ingredients in the product.

• Not recommended in patients with moderate to severe liver impairment, gastrointestinal bleeding, mechanical obstruction, or perforation.
• Use with caution in patients with kidney impairment; dose adjustment or longer dosing intervals may be required under medical supervision.
• Domperidone has been associated with an increased risk of serious ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death, especially in patients over 60 years of age or at higher doses. Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible duration, as advised by your doctor.
• Consult your doctor before use if you are pregnant or planning pregnancy. Domperidone should only be used in pregnancy if clearly needed and prescribed by a physician.
• Breastfeeding: domperidone is excreted in breast milk in small amounts. Use during breastfeeding only on medical advice, weighing potential benefits and risks.
