Full Prescribing Info
Action
Gastrokinetic.
Pharmacology: Domperidone is a benzimidazole derivative with prokinetic and antiemetic effects, with the latter effect very similar to metoclopramide. Extrapyramidal reactions are rare as domperidone generally does not cross the blood-brain barrier. Oral administration prolongs the contraction of the anthrum and duodenum, increases gastric emptying and pressure of lower esophagus sphincter. There is no side effect to gastric secretion.
